John Kennedy has made three changes to the Celtic side that lost at Ibrox with Adam Montgomery making his top team debut at left-back.

The 18-year-old replaces Greg Taylor with Scott Bain missing through injury and Callum McGregor suspended. Vasilis Barkas makes his first appearance since January with Ryan Christie replacing McGregor in central midfield.

It is 10 days since Celtic lost 4-1 at Ibrox with the hoops going into tonight’s match without a win in their last three matches.

Back in November it took a late goal from Moi Elyounoussi to deny Saints a win at Celtic Park but on the road the Hoops have won twice away to Callum Davidson’s side.

After tonight’s match Celtic wind up their season away to Hibs on Saturday with St Johnstone facing the same side a week later in the Scottish Cup Final.

CELTIC: Barkas; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer, Montgomery; Brown, Christie; Forrest, Turnbull, Elyounoussi; Edouard

SUBS: Hazard, Taylor, Griffiths, Ajeti, Soro, Johnston, Ralston, Karamoko, Laxalt
