Match preview
Will Celtic remain on course for a fifth domestic treble in seven seasons?
In the previous round, the Hoops hammered Greenock Morton 5-0, with Aaron Mooy and Kyōgo Furuhashi both bagging braces, before David Turnbull was also on target.
Meantime, Ange Postecoglou’s team are through to the League Cup Final, they’ll face Rangers later this month, and are nine points clear at the top of the Premiership.
Last Sunday, their winning streak continued at McDiarmid Park, swatting aside St Johnstone, with the same three players, Mooy, Kyōgo and Turnbull, the scorers.
So, will the record 40-times Scottish Cup winners ease through to the quarter-finals?
Only one Scottish team have managed to beat Celtic this season and that is St Mirren.
More broadly, Stephen Robinson’s side are enjoying an excellent season, currently sixth in the table.
This is despite the fact that, last weekend, St Mirren were beaten at home for the first time since 31 July, with Hibs snatching a late 1-0 victory.
In this competition, the Buddies needed a penalty shootout to overcome Dundee in round four with the Dee, amazingly, missing all three spot-kicks.
The following day, they were given the nightmare draw, given that the Saints have only won at Celtic Park once this century, hammered 4-0 there just 24 days ago.
In short, a routine home victory is likely to be on the cards at Parkhead.
