Aaron Mooy is back in the Celtic side for today’s match away to St Johnstone.
The midfielder came off the bench in the second half of the midweek win over Livingston and take the place of Matt O’Riley and retains that status today.
As usual Ange Postecoglou sticks with the same back four with all of them playing the full 90 minutes against Livingston.
It took a last gasp goal from Giorgos Giakoumakis to deliver full points when Celtic visited St Johnstone in October, with a transfer expected to Atlanta United the Greek striker is again missing from the Celtic squad.
David Dickinson will referee today’s match, his first since awarding a bizarre penalty against Alexandro Bernabei at home to Dundee United.
A win for Celtic will restore their nine point lead at the top of the Premiership table.
