Greg Taylor makes his Celtic debut tonight- almost two months after joining the hoops from Kilmarnock.

Neil Lennon has made three changes to the side that beat Aberdeen on Sunday, Moritz Bauer comes in for Jeremie Frimpong while Ryan Christie returns from suspension to replace Tom Rogic.

After scoring ten goals in their last two matches the hoops will again be expected to hit the goal trail in just their fifth home SPFL match of the season.

With a seven against St Johnstone and six against Ross County a similar scoreline is expected even though St Mirren have the fourth best defensive record in the top flight.

Jim Goodwin’s side haven’t taken a point from any of their away matches this season and sit in fourth bottom place going into tonight’s match.

Kevin Clancy will referee tonight’s match, in his only other Celtic appointment he denied Christie and Moritz Bauer penalties in the 1-1 draw away to Hibs.

CELTIC: Forster; Bauer, Ajer, Jullien, Taylor; McGregor, Brown; Forrest, Christie, Elyounoussi; Edouard

SUBS: Gordon, Bitton, Hayes, Sinclair, Morgan, Ntcham, Elhamed
