St. Johnstone team news
The Saints face a few selection headaches. Bozo Mikulic, Drey Wright, Uche Ikpeazu, and Sam McClelland are all sidelined through injury, while Zach Mitchell remains a doubt after being forced off in their last outing.
After recently pulling off a surprise 1-0 victory over Celtic, manager Simo Valakari may opt to stick with a similar lineup, possibly introducing Taylor Steven and Barry Douglas to reinforce the backline.
Celtic team news
Celtic, meanwhile, will continue without Kasper Schmeichel, who is nursing a shoulder injury. That means Viljami Sinisalo is set to retain his spot in goal.
Hyun-Jun Yang also misses out due to an elbow issue, paving the way for a front trio of Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, Jota, and Daizen Maeda to lead the attack once more.
After thrashing Kilmarnock 5-1 last time out, Brendan Rodgers is unlikely to tinker much with his setup. However, there is a possibility that Jeffrey Schlupp could get the nod ahead of Greg Taylor in the back four.
