Wilfried Nancy will look to win his first piece of silverware as Celtic head coach as his side face St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final at Hampden Park on Sunday (kick-off: 3.30pm).
The 48-year-old became the first manager in the club’s history to lose his first two games in charge after falling to a humbling 3-0 defeat at home to Roma in the Europa League on Thursday, and will be looking to ensure his reign is kick-started at the weekend with the league’s first trophy of the campaign up for grabs.
Their opponents, St Mirren, will have been urged to believe in themselves by head coach Stephen Robinson ahead of the game at the national stadium, and will be buoyed by their vital 2-0 win over Dundee United last weekend. "We go into the game full of hope, full of anticipation and, as I say, the faith that we can achieve a result,” said Robinson.
"We see all the photographs of the teams that have been very, very successful here and won trophies, and they're held in such high regard. What I try to do is to tell the players 'We want your names there, we want your pictures there.”

11. Callum Osmand - Celtic - OUT
Bagged the clinching third goal in the 3-1 semi-final win over Rangers, only to suffer a bad hamstring injury in the days after the game. The injury required surgery, and he will be out for a number of weeks, as confirmed by former interim manager Martin O'Neill last month. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
12. Malik Dijksteel - St Mirren - DOUBT
Doubtful after picking up an injury in training earlier this week. The full-back withdrew from sessions and is undergoing assessment; his availability for the final remains uncertain. He's been a regular starter this season, so a late decision will be made on his fitness. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
