With Josip Juranovic on leave after starring for Croatia at the World Cup, Anthony Ralston has been deputising in his absence. However, the Scotland internationalist hurt his back in the 2-1 midweek win over Livingston and could miss out against the Saints on Saturday. Celtic signed Canadian right-back Alistair Johnston two weeks ago, but is not eligible to play until January 1.
"We have three right-backs and we may not have any available,” said Postecoglou. “We’ll see how Tony is, if he’s not right we will make a decision then. Alistair ready to go, he’s training, he’s fine, obviously he can’t play till window opens [on January 1].”
If Ralston fails to shake off his injury, then left-back Greg Taylor may switch flanks, or James Forrest could be used as a makeshift full-back.
