Neil Lennon has made four changes to his starting XI to face St Mirren tonight with Ryan Christie winning a place on the bench.

Jozo Simunovic and Emilio Izaguirre come into the defence with Timo Weah and Oli Burke joining the strike force alongside James Forrest and Callum McGregor.

Sunday’s victory in the Glasgow derby takes clinching the title to within reach at the weekend with full points for the hoops coupled with any points dropped by Steven Gerrard’s side finishing the issue ahead of the split.

St Mirren caused Celtic grief earlier in the season with a 0-0 draw that included a red card for Olivier Ntcham with the Paisley side moving off bottom place at the weekend with a win over Dundee.

With a clash against third bottom Hamilton on Saturday St Mirren may not be 100% focussed on tonight’s action.

CELTIC: Bain; Lustig, Ajer, Simunovic, Izaguirre: Brown, Ntcham; Weah, McGregor, Forrest; Burke

SUBS: De Vries, Edouard, Rogic, Benkovic, Sinclair, Toljan, Christie
