Celtic are looking to restore their nine-point lead at the top of the Premiership.
With Rangers taking care of Kilmarnock on Saturday, the Hoops need to beat St Mirren to keep their challengers at arm's length. However, it was in Paisley that Ange Postecoglou's side suffered their only domestic defeat of the season, losing 2-0 to Stephen Robinson's Buddies back on September 18.
Postecoglou laughed when he was asked if revenge was in the air and little wonder as Celtic have been relentless ever since that day. The only time they have failed to win in the Premiership was at Ibrox on January 2 when they drew 2-2.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Postecoglou has named the same XI that stated the Viaplay Cup Final last week which means Aaron Mooy faces his old club and the potent front three of Jota, Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda are unleashed on Saints.
Celtic: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; Mooy, McGregor, Hatate; Jota, Kyogo, Maeda.
Subs: Bain, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Iwata, O'Riley, Ralston.
The Buddies have left out Ryan Flynn who suffered a nasty ankle injury in last week's 1-1 draw with St Johnstone - but he does make the bench. Tony Watt is also a sub with Alex Greive back in.
St Mirren: Carson, Fraser, Gogic, Dunne, Strain, Baccus, O'Hara, Kiltie, Small, Greive, Main.
Subs: Urminsky, Shaughnessy, Tanser, R Taylor, Flynn, F Taylor, Offord, Jamieson, Watt
