Neil Lennon has made three changes to the Celtic side that lost to Copenhagen for today’s Scottish Cup tie away to St Johnstone.
Nir Bitton, Ryan Christie and Leigh Griffiths come into the starting XI with Jozo Simunovic, Moi Elyounoussi and Tom Rogic dropping out with only the Australian finding a place on the bench.
The return of Griffiths means that the hoops will start with a 3-5-2 formation as they look to advance to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup after three successive Hampden triumphs.
Celtic have already beaten St Johnstone three times this season including an emphatic 3-0 win at Perth in January.
Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen are already in the draw for the semi-final which will take place after today’s match. On Wednesday night Celtic return to SPFL action with a trip to Livingston before St Mirren visit Celtic Park on Saturday.
CELTIC: Forster; Bitton, Ajer, Jullien; Forrest, Christie, Brown,McGregor, Taylor; Edouard, Griffiths
SUBS: Bain, Elhamed, Frimpong, Hayes, Rogic, Klimala, Bayo
