ST Johnstone vs Celtic (13 March 2027, Scottish Premiership): match facts, form and head-to-head

Johnstone host a formidable Celtic side that sit atop the table with 18 points from a perfect six‑win start, while the hosts linger in seventh place on seven points, having won two, drawn one and lost three with a modest 8‑9 goal difference. The gap in both points and firepower is stark—Celtic’s 14‑3 tally dwarfs Johnstone’s modest return—yet the home side will be keen to narrow the disparity on familiar turf. Historically, the encounters have tilted heavily in Celtic’s favour, and the current form suggests that pattern could continue unless Johnstone can turn their defensive frailties around. A win for the visitors would cement their unbeaten run, while a surprise result for Johnstone could inject fresh excitement into a tightly contested league.
