Match Facts
St. Johnstone won their last home league game against Celtic 1-0 in April 2025, ending a 13-game losing run at home to the Hoops in the Scottish Premiership. The Saints last beat Celtic in successive home league matches in April 1999 (run of 3).
Celtic have won 23 of their last 26 meetings with St. Johnstone in all competitions (D2 L1), most recently a 5-0 Scottish Cup semi-final victory in 2024-25.
Celtic have won 23 of their last 24 league games against newly promoted opponents (D1 – v Dundee United in December 2024) since a 1-2 defeat to Hearts in July 2021.
Newly promoted sides are winless in their last 37 Scottish Premiership games against reigning champions (D6 L31) since Hibernian beat Celtic 2-1 in April 2018.
St. Johnstone have only won two of their last 12 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) games in the Scottish Premiership (D5 L5), beating Aberdeen 2-0 in February 2024 and Ross County 1-0 in February 2025.
Celtic have won 23 of their last 25 league games played on a Wednesday, the exceptions being a 2-4 defeat to Hibernian in May 2023 and 1-2 loss to Dundee United in December 2025.
This will be Martin O’Neill’s first league game against St. Johnstone as Celtic manager since January 2002 (2-1 win). Celtic have won all six of their league matches against the Saints under O’Neill; the only managers with a better 100% league win rate over a specific opponent with the club are Jock Stein (18/18 v Clyde), Brendan Rodgers (9/9 v Hamilton Academical), and Ange Postecoglou (7/7 v Aberdeen & Ross County).
Last season, Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren was directly involved in eight goals in seven Scottish Premiership games against newly promoted sides (7 goals, 1 assist), scoring three in two away matches against the promoted clubs (2 v Livingston, 1 v Falkirk).
