Brendan Rodgers has made three changes to the Celtic side that drew 0-0 with Hibs for tonight’s match at home to St Mirren.
After a run of starting four matches on the bounce after recovering from a hamstring injury Cameron Carter-Vickers drops out the squad with Nat Phillips taking his place.
David Turnbull replaces Paolo Bernardo with James Forrest in for Daizen Maeda with Bernardo and Maeda on the bench.
The absence of Carter-Vickers is the main issue with the former Spurs man the undoubted first choice central defender with a growing partnership alongside Liam Scales.
Maik Nawrocki is listed as a substitute for the first time since Augustm after coming off the bench at Hibs on Saturday Mikey Johnston drops out of the squad for tonight’s match which will be refereed by John Beaton.
CELTIC: Hart; Johnston, Phillips, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, O’Riley, Turnbull; Forrest, Kyogo, Palma
SUBS: Bain, Yang, Holm, Nawrocki, Oh, Tomoki, Bernardo, Maeda, Ralston
