Scottish Premiership

FC Celtic's trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina was a success. They managed to defeat the champions of this country, FK Sarajevo, and secure a place in the Europa League group stage.

Missing another season of the UEFA Champions League was certainly painful for the fans, but this competition will have to be something of a compensation.

Now they're back to domestic duties and the big race to the top against Glasgow Rangers.

The Bhoys will face St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in Perth this Sunday. The hosts have been quite inconsistent in the new football season.

The odds of winning away from home are 1,25 at the moment.

St Johnstone vs Celtic Prediction

Neil Lennon's side were not overtly dominant against Sarajevo. It took 70 minutes to break through the home defense and score the winning goal. Odsonne Edouard was the only name on the match sheet.

As far as the Premiership is concerned, Bhoys is currently second with 22 points from eight games. The only slip came in Round 1 on the road against Kilmarnock FC 1-XNUMX FT. This team is scoring almost three goals a game in Scotland.

Albian Ajeti, one of the most recent acquisitions, tops the charts with five goals.

Tradition is strongly against St Johnstone, as well as their recent form and results. They have lost four of their last five Premiership games, lying bottom of the table on just seven points. We are predicting an easy and convincing victory for the Bhoys.
