What channel is Celtic vs St Mirren? Live stream, TV, ref and team news for flag day
The Hoops kick off their quest for five-in-a-row at home to the Buddies on Sunday Going for 56. There won't be any banners of that kind at Celtic Park this Sunday. But Hoops fans will be dreaming of five-in-a-row and a record-breaking title triumph to take them one above their rivals across the city. The sky is the limit as far as Brendan Rodgers is concerned - so long as he's backed in the transfer window. The Parkhead boss made it clear in Friday's press conference that he's not in Glasgow just to 'maintain levels' - he wants to drive Celts forward. Now in the final term of his three-year contract, Rodgers hinted he'd be willing to extend his stay if his ambitions are matched. Powerbrokers Dermot Desmond and Michael Nicholson have just over four weeks to get the signings that Rodgers craves after losing key duo Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn without replacing them. The lack of business has enraged sections of the green-and-white faithful. But, on Sunday at least, there will be a pause for celebration as the 55th league flag is unfurled by Paul McStay before kick-off. St Mirren are the visitors, and miracle-worker Stephen Robinson will be eyeing another shock point at the home of the champions, just as the Buddies did on Trophy Day. A sell-out crowd will turn out for the long-awaited Premiership kick-off and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know. When is Celtic vs St Mirren? Celtic welcome St Mirren to Parkhead on Sunday, August 3. Kick-off is at 4:30pm. Is Celtic vs St Mirren on TV? Yes, it is indeed.

Australia v British & Irish Lions: third Test
Update: Date: 2025-08-02T08:45:06.000Z Title: Preamble Content: The West Wing's Toby Ziegler once stated: 'They'll like us when we win!' In the show, this was a questionable justification for yet another US war, but the sentiment probably sits well with the Lions head coach. It is oft repeated that Andy Farrell is a winner and this has broadly been true of his career (if you discount Ireland progressing beyond the quarter finals of a World Cup; but you can't expect one man – however impressive – to solve that particular historical psychodrama). With the series is already won hopes were raised of something resembling a banter team selection for Lions in this cherry-on-the-top third test. To expect this is to misunderstand Farrell and his history. His 13 years as a player at Wigan delivered 15 trophies in their continued domination of rugby league from the 1980s. Key to this domination was the culture of his hometown club. Rugby league was never a fully professional sport, with players working to supplement the modest income from the game and Wigan was the first team to change that. Wigan made the move to full professionalism in the middle of Thatcher's decade and ushered the period of their boot relentlessly stamping on the face of the sport for the best part of two decades. No one else had the money, the desire or the sheer bloody-mindedness to pull it off. Was it fair? Debatable. Was it fun for anyone else? I can speak from personal experience as a non-Wiganer it absolutely was not. Was it successful? Hell, yeah! This unyielding approach arrives in Sydney in a few hours, because they'll like us when we win.
