Fixture: St Johnstone vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:15 (UK time)

Celtic have officially announced their starting line-up and substitutes to lock horns with St Johnstone in an away Premiership clash this afternoon.

The Bhoys have only played once in the Premiership so far this season after postponing their match last weekend and will be looking to make it six points from two games with victory at McDiarmid Park.




Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, whose men beat Israeli side Hapoel Beer Sheva 5-2 in the Champions League in midweek, trusts in Leigh Griffiths to lead the attack, with support from James Forrest, Scott Sinclair and Tom Rogic. Scott Brown and Nir Bitton will aim to boss the middle of the park.

At the back, the Celtic boss has the experienced head of Kolo Toure, while Saidy Janko is handed a start. On the bench, Rodgers can turn to Moussa Dembele and Ryan Christie if he needs to throw on further attacking options. Erik Sviatchenko is also on the bench.
