Neil Lennon has made just one change to the Celtic side that lost to AC Milan with Chris Jullien coming off the bench to replace Hatem Abd Elhamed for the visit of St Johnstone.

Vasilis Barkas retains his place in goal despite being criticised for his display in the San Siro with Leigh Griffiths, Moi Elyounoussi and David Turnbull listed among the substitutes, Abian Ajeti fails to make the bench.

On the back of three straight defeats and four on the bounce at home anything less than full points today will trigger even more protests against the manager and Chief Executive.

At the start of October it took two very late goals from substitutes Leigh Griffths and Patryk Klimala to secure full points for Lennon’s side at St Johnstone.

After a difficult start to the season Callum Davidson’s side are showing some impressive form with a run of 10 matches unbeaten, last Saturday they came from behind to knock Motherwell out of the Betfred Cup at Fir Park:

CELTIC: Barkas; Jullien, Bitton, Ajer; Frimpong, Brown, Christie, McGregor, Laxalt; Rogic, Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Taylor, Griffiths, Klimala, Soro, Turnbull, Ntcham, Elyounoussi, Elhamed
