Will Celtic suffer a Buddie backlash in Paisley?

Heads could be low at St Mirren Park

Just think, if things went differently on Sunday, both sets of fans could have been cheering the presence of the League Cup at St Mirren Park tonight but as we all know, Rangers overcame adversity to clinch the cup.

Therefore, there would be no surprise if the atmosphere was a little bit flat at the game tonight.

Some Celtic fans will have one ear on the radio or one eye on their mobile phones hoping that Dundee United can derail the Rangers treble express. St Mirren fans, well we just hope they have taken their heads out of the oven since Sunday.

Not that there is any time to mope for the Buddies. Bottom club Falkirk picked up an away point last which means they are only two points behind St Mirren. The Paisley club have a game in hand but this comes tonight against a Celtic side who may just be creaking into form.

That has been seen many times in the Celtic side this season so no one should predict that they have turned a corner but with Robbie Keane on board, you feel there is more chance they will win games.

As for how this one will go, you would have to think Celtic will see it out but a lot depends on the mental state of St Mirren. They may be able to bounce back from Sunday and put everything into their survival fight. However, if they feel sorry for themselves, things may get a whole lot worse before they get better.

Who do you fancy for tonight?
