Celtic will take on St Johnstone up next in their Scottish Premiership campaign on Saturday at Celtic Park. The defending champions have begun their new season with two league wins in as many games but their most recent outing was a League Cup defeat against Kilmarnock.
Celtic's star forward Kyogo Furuhashi has scored in both their league games so far and the team has scored seven goals already from those two fixtures. While the League Cup loss was a shock, Celtic are still firmly in the driving seat in this fixture. St Johnstone will hope for a miracle as they are currently on a losing streak of four games. To make it worse, they have scored only one goal in this period.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
