Crosas ready for seven-up Saints

Spanish midfielder Crosas scored his first goal for the Hoops since arriving from Barcelona last summer as the Scottish Premier League champions dismantled their opponents last weekend.Saints had defender Jack Ross sent off in the first half at Parkhead before collapsing spectacularly after the break.The venue is reversed for Saturday's lunchtime kick-off but Gordon Strachan's side - boosted further after going back top of the SPL on Wednesday night with a 2-1 win at Kilmarnock - are strong favourites to dismiss the Paisley side at St Mirren Park.However, Crosas, 21, warned against complacency within the Hoops ranks."The result on Saturday will not matter when when we meet again this week," he told the Celtic View."The game ended with a good victory for Celtic but that only makes things harder when we go to St Mirren's ground."The St Mirren players will be looking to make up for that defeat."They will make things difficult for us, because they won't want to accept that loss."They will be out to change things."Many Celtic fans will have one eye on the following week when the Parkhead side play Old Firm rivals Rangers in the Co-operative Insurance Cup final at Hampden.Crosas, who has slowly begun to stake a claim for a regular place in the Parkhead midfield, is relishing his first showpiece occasion for the Hoops but is reluctant to look too far ahead.He said: "I am looking forward to that game."It will be important for the players and the fans, but I think it's only right that we focus on the other games first. That has to be the priority."St Mirren salvaged some pride from last weekend's mauling by drawing 1-1 with Aberdeen on Tuesday night but they have not beaten Celtic in the league or cup for almost 20 years. St Mirren v Celtic Correct Score: Celtic 5-0 40/1
