Celtic will look to prolong their stay atop the Scottish Premiership standings table when they take on St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers' men are on an unbeaten run of 20 competitive matches all through the end of the previous season, including an all-win run of eight games in all competitions at the start of their current campaign.
Meanwhile, St Johnstone are under interim manager Andy Kirk as the hosts look to turn around a winless run of five matches.
Celtic last downed Falkirk 5-2 in a Scottish League Cup tie, while the Saints are coming off a 3-3 league draw at Ross County.
