Two sides from the opposite ends of the table lock horns as second-last placed St. Johnstoneplay hosts to Scottish Premiershipleaders Celtic on Sunday.
St. Johnston have struggled miserably this season as they hover around the bottom of the league with just two wins in their 14 games. Although, the two massive results have come in their previous five games which could give the hosts a lot of confidence but the encounter against Celtic could see them register their seventh loss of the campaign.
Despite their wretched results in the UEFA Champions League, Celtic have looked the complete opposite playing in Scotland. Currently undefeated in the league, Celtic have garnered 11 wins and three draws from their 14 games seeding them at the pinnacle of the table. With European dreams out of sight, the Hoops will be more concentrated on their domestic league as they present a massive threat on Sunday.
