Preview: Celtic Looks to Regroup Against St Mirren in Scottish Cup Clash

GLASGOW, Scotland (Interstat) — Celtic will aim to bounce back from a heavy defeat when it hosts St Mirren FC in a SWF Scottish Cup match on Sunday, April 19, 2026.

The home side enters the contest reeling from a 3-0 loss to rival Rangers on April 6. That result was part of a difficult recent stretch for Celtic, which also includes a 4-1 defeat to Heart of Midlothian LFC on April 1. Its form has been inconsistent, with a mix of wins, draws and losses since late January.

A key player to watch for Celtic is forward Katie Wilkinson. Despite the team’s recent struggles, Wilkinson has shown a scoring touch. She came on as a late substitute in the loss to Rangers and managed to register three shots on goal in limited time.

St Mirren FC arrives with momentum from a 2-1 victory over Kampong Speu Province on Feb. 6. However, its domestic form has been spotty, with a 1-1 draw against Livingston FC on Jan. 17 being its last known Scottish result. The visitors will rely on contributors like defender Emma Louise Lawton, who recorded an assist in their recent win, and forward Morgan Cross.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is a narrow 1-0 victory for Celtic.

This cup match offers Celtic a critical opportunity to reset before resuming league play. Its next scheduled game is at Hibernian LFC on Friday, April 24.

The Scottish Cup fixture is set for Sunday at Celtic Park.
