Celtic enter the rescheduled Scottish Premiership fixture as clear favorites, reflecting their 2-0-0 start with a +5 goal difference and continued European commitments that underscore squad depth. St Johnstone sit sixth after mixed early results and face a historically lopsided matchup, where Celtic have won 23 of the last 28 encounters. Celtic’s absences, including Jota until mid-September and Alistair Johnston until November, represent the main variables, yet their overall quality and attacking momentum maintain the 69.5% implied win probability. A draw at 25.5% accounts for St Johnstone’s home resilience and potential low-scoring patterns, while the visitors’ 11.5% chance highlights the steep challenge of upsetting the league leaders away at McDiarmid Park.
