St Mirren may have won both domestic cup tournaments last season, yet many people view them as potential relegation contenders this term. Now without their manager and in much weaker shape than they were then.
Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic are this week’s Scottish Premiership Team of the Week. Their xG stats rank highest and they concede fewest chances from high-value areas, leading them to claim this honor.
1. Ross Cunningham (Clyde)

2. James Mulligan (Dundee)

Motherwell boss Mark McGhee will likely stick with the same team that performed brilliantly against Hibernian in midweek, including Mika Biereth of Arsenal who could make his Fir Park debut if Jon Obika (hamstring) and Harry Paton (foot) remain doubtful; forwards Chris Cadden and Jojo Wollacott remain out long term.
3. Craig Fleming (Peterhead)

4. David McGoldrick (Arbroath)
