St Mirren Set for Premier Sports Cup Final vs Celtic as Robinson Pushes 'Faith Over Fear'

The Buddies pursue a first trophy since 2013 under a 'faith over fear' message ahead of selection calls.

Overview

  • St Mirren face Celtic in Sunday's Premier Sports Cup final at Hampden Park, with kickoff scheduled for 3:30pm on Premier Sports 1.
  • Captain Mark O'Hara has trained after six weeks out with a foot issue but is considered doubtful, Malik Dijksteel is a doubt from a training knock, and goalkeeper Shamal George returned to training after a sickness bug.
  • Stephen Robinson says he has "nine out of 11" starters in mind and outlined a clear plan while continuing to scout Celtic.
  • Celtic are adjusting under new manager Wilfried Nancy after a 2-1 loss to Hearts in his debut and a 3-0 home defeat to Roma this week.
  • St Mirren have not rehearsed penalties, though Robinson highlighted George's penalty-saving ability if the final reaches a shootout.
