Saints will be hoping to end the group stages on a high with their first victory in the competition, following on from the draw against Dinamo Zagreb in their last cup outing.

In their return to action in 2024, Adam Asghar's side ran PL2 leaders Tottenham Hotspur close but fell to a narrow 3-2 defeat.

Celtic are hunting for their first points of any form in Group B of the PL International Cup, having lost all three of their matches so far.

Stephen McManus's side ply their trade in Scotland's fifth tier domestically, currently sitting mid-table in the Scottish Lowland Football League.

In the PL International Cup, they have lost 5-0 against West Ham, 4-3 against Brighton, and 3-1 against Chelsea so far.
