How to watch St Johnstone v Celtic
Celtic can take another step towards the Scottish Premiership title when they travel to bottom club St Johnstone on Sunday.
The Hoops are 13 points clear at the top of the table and just three wins from clinching a fourth successive championship and a 13th in the last 14 seasons.
A huge Celtic support will make their way to Perth for the match after St Johnstone gave up three entire stands to away fans in order to maximise their matchday income.
It was anticipated that the trip to McDiarmid Park could be the game that decided the title but Celtic’s defeat to Rangers in the most recent Old Firm derby has put the champagne on ice until the first match after the split - assuming both Celtic and Rangers win their two remaining pre-split fixtures.
St Johnstone are five points behind Dundee at the foot of the table and in desperate need of points to give their survival hopes a boost. However, with a 10-0 aggregate against them in their previous meetings with Celtic this season (0-6 and 4-0) it would be a major surprise if they were to take anything from this game.
