Celtic face St Johnstone in their final match of 2024 and will hope to continue their excellent unbeaten start to the Scottish Premiership campaign into the New Year.
Last time out, the Bhoys hammered Motherwell 4-0 to extend their lead at the top of the table to 12 points courtesy of goals from Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn and Reo Hatate.
Now, Celtic turn their attention to securing another three points that will help to prolong momentum ahead of next week’s New Year Glasgow Derby at Ibrox.
Brendan Rodgers has yet to taste defeat against St Johnstone during his managerial career. The Perth side sit bottom of the league standings and come into this one off the back of a Tayside derby defeat at home to Dundee United.
