Neil Lennon has confirmed his Celtic team v St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership today, per the official club website.
The full match squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Bain, Kenny, Ajer, Duffy, Taylor, Brown, McGregor, Turnbull, Rogic, Christie, Edouard.
Substitutes – Barkas, Griffiths, Ajeti, Klimala, Soro, Johnston, Elyounoussi, Ralston, Laxalt.
The Bhoys head into this one on the back of a three-game winning streak. The league title race may be all but over, but the team have managed to find some pride in their performances of late.
We hope that continues today of course and the manager has named a strong line-up to get the job done.
The headline news is that Albian Ajeti drops out of the side, with Ryan Christie coming in. The Swiss international won’t get the chance to continue his partnership with Odsonne Edouard.
Elsewhere, Shane Duffy comes in for the injured Stephen Welsh.
St Johnstone are in decent shape themselves heading into this fixture. They’ve only lost one of their last nine in all competitions, which was a narrow 1-0 defeat at Ibrox.
They’ll be hoping for a scalp live on television today and Celtic must be on top form to pick up all three points.
Broadcast Details
Today’s game is not on the club’s ‘Pass To Paradise’ streaming service for season ticket holders as it takes place away from home.
Celtic TV will be broadcasting live coverage, for subscribers to the separate service, outside of the UK & Ireland.
The match is live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football.
For those who cannot tune in there, BBC Radio Scotland is providing live audio commentary online.
Fan reaction to Celtic team v St Johnstone
The decision to place Albian Ajeti back onto the bench is a contentious decision for some. The striker was finally getting consistent minutes under his belt, but clearly the manager feels he’ll get more out of Christie.
The continued snubbing of Ismaila Soro is also a problem for some, feeling he represents a brighter future than Scott Brown.
Hopefully there’s enough talent out on the pitch to beat the Perth side regardless.
These fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on it all…
In other news, Neil Lennon is pretty annoyed with Jim Goodwin.
