Filip Benkovic and Tom Rogic come into the Celtic side to play St Johnstone from the side that lost to RB Salzburg in the Europa League.

Jack Hendry and Youssuf Mulumbu miss out with Brendan Rodgers starting with two strikers for the third match running.

Three points are the priority today but ahead of an international break Brendan Rodgers would love to see his side return to scoring form.

In three away matches so far this season Celtic have scored just once- Leigh Griffiths netting away against Kilmarnock a fortnight ago.

That match ended in defeat with a last minute goal from Stuart Findlay doing the damage- today former Celt Tony Watt will be looking to do the damage.

A repeat of the recent Betfred Cup win over St Johnstone will keep the away support happy ahead of the visit from Hibs to Celtic Park in 13 days time.

Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Benkovic, Tierney; McGregor, Ntcham, Rogic, Forrest, Edouard; Griffiths
Subs: Bain, Izaguirre, Simunovic, Mulumbu, Morgan, Christie, Sinclair
