Team News: No changes from Lennon as Brown stars ahead of Soro

Neil Lennon has named the same Celtic side that started against Motherwell on Saturday for tonight’s clash with St Mirren.

Despite voicing concerns about Scott Brown’s declining influence the 35-year-old starts his third game in eight days with Ismaila Soro again on the bench. Ryan Christie has recovered from injury and replaces Ewan Henderson as a substitute.

It is less than a fortnight since the two clubs met with St Mirren enjoying their first win in 31 years at Celtic Park.

Neil Lennon responded to that set-back by making six changes for the match at Kilmarnock which Celtic won 4-0 followed by Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Motherwell. Since their win over Celtic, St Mirren have lost at home to Hibs then bounced back with a 2-0 win over Kilmarnock on Saturday.

The two clubs met earlier this season in Paisley with Celtic winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Shane Duffy and James Forrest.

CELTIC: Bain; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer, Taylor; Rogic, Brown, Turnbull, McGregor; Edouard, Ajeti

SUBS: Barkas, Duffy, Griffiths, Klimala, Soro, Christie, Johnston, Elyounoussi, Laxalt
