Neil Lennon’s side appear to be hitting some kind of form ahead of today’s match at McDiarmid Park. The Hoops have won each of their last three games, scoring ten goals and conceding just one.
They’ll be looking to keep that going in front of the Sky Sports cameras against a St Johnstone side who’ve lost just one of their last six – a narrow defeat against Rangers – and have conceded four goals across that stretch.
They’ll be a tough opponent to crack, as evidenced by the 2-0 Celtic win earlier this season when two injury-time goals were required, not to mention the 1-1 draw at Parkhead.
Celtic have no chance of catching their Ibrox rivals in the title race, but they’ll be looking to avoid as many further embarrassments as possible between now and the end of the season.
The subs are: Barkas, Ajeti, Griffiths, Ralston, Klimala, Soro, Johnston, Elyounoussi, Laxalt
