Celtic face St Johnstone this evening in Scottish Premiership. The Champions are in Perth for this evening’s live game on Premier Sports.
Brendan has gone for a strong XI despite the game during the week against Borussia Dortmund. The major decision was who would come in for Cameron Carter-Vickers and the boss has gone for his compatriot Auston Trusty. Meanwhile, Reo Hatate starts from the bench with Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo preferred.
Celtic: Schmeichel, Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, Bernardo, Engels, Kühn, Kyogo, Maeda.
Subs: Sinisalo, Idah, Valle, Yang, Nawrocki, Hatate, McCowan, Forrest, Ralston.
It is fairly telling that Stephen Welsh and Luis Palma haven’t been included in the matchday squad, given their rusty displays last weekend.
St Johnstone: Sinclair, Neilson, Sanders, Cameron, Wright, Smith, Sprangler, Raymond, Carey, Kirk, Clark.
Subs: Rae, MacPherson, Essel, Kucheriavyi, McPake, Keltjens, McCrystal, Franczak, Dair.
