Ange Postecoglou has made three changes to the players that started against Livingston for today’s match with St Johnstone and appears to be switching formation.

With Tony Ralston out injured there is no obvious right-back in the side although James Forrest could be right wing-back in a 3-5-2 formation.

As well as Forrest, Aaron Mooy and Daizen Maeda come into the starting XI with Liel Abada and Jota dropping onto the bench.

There is plenty of flexibility and options among the starting XI but with Giorgos Giakoumakis left on the bench the focus will be on Kyogo Furuhashi to convert the chances that were missed against Livingston.

Kevin Clancy will referee today’s match with St Johnston picking up full points last week with a 2-1 win away to Ross County.

CELTIC: Hart, Starfelt, Carter-Vickers, Taylor; Forrest, McGregor, Mooy, O’Riley, Hatate; Kyogo, Maeda

SUBS: Siegrist, Jenz, Giakoumakis, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Jota, Bernabei, Lawal
