Celtic were 2-0 winners when the sides met at Celtic Park in October with Mohamed Elyounoussi and James Forrest scoring for Neil Lennon's men.
That was also the scoreline when the Hoops last visited Paisley with Timothy Weah and Ryan Christie netting back in March.
St Mirren's last league win over Celtic was the famous 4-0 win in 2010 where Andy Dorman and Steven Thomson each scored a brace to defeat Tony Mowbray's Hoops side.
The Buddies last picked up a point against Celtic with a 0-0 draw at the Simple Digital Arena in September 2018 in what was ex-manager Oran Kearney's first match in charge.
TEAM NEWS
Kirk Broadfoot, Gary MacKenzie and Kyle McAllister are all set to miss out for Saints.
"Celtic have been playing extremely well and even in the games they're not playing so well they still manage to find a way to win the game.
"It's going to be extremely difficult we know that. I think we have to take a little bit of hope from what Livingston did back in October albeit they have won every domestic game since then.
"There is always a chance. You've got to go into it with a bit of belief knowing that it is going to be a long afternoon but also believing that you are going to get opportunities.
"We have to make sure we go into the game well-organised and difficult to beat but also try to impose our game on them as well. It's trying to find that balance of being hard to beat but being adventurous enough to commit enough bodies forward where we can try and hurt them."
