This Saturday afternoon, Celtic is set to face off against St. Mirren, a crucial match for manager Ange Postecoglou.

After a disappointing performance at Ibrox last week, the team is eager to return to their winning form. This home game presents the perfect opportunity for the Australian manager to steer his team towards victory, with the aim of securing three points against the Buddies.

Celtic will don their traditional green and white hoops for the match, but with a special addition. In commemoration of the anniversary of The Great Hunger (An Gorta Mor) in Ireland, the team will wear a Celtic Cross logo on their shirts. This annual tradition is a respectful nod to the tragic events that unfolded in Ireland.

The National Famine Commemoration Day falls on Sunday, the 21st of May this year. As a result, the Celtic team will sport the Celtic Cross logo on their shirts this weekend. This gesture is a poignant reminder of the club’s Irish roots and the importance of remembering and respecting historical events.

As Celtic prepares to take on St. Mirren, the anticipation is high. The team’s determination to bounce back from last week’s setback is palpable, and with the cup final looming, we need to make sure we end the league season on a high.
