Celtic are back on Premiership duty, eleven days on from our last league fixture, and it’s St. Mirren who are the visitors to Celtic Park.
Ange Postecoglou’s man have been terrific domestically this season – winning 22 of their 24 matches, and losing just one.
And it just so happens that it was Stephen Robinson’s Buddies who dished out that loss, back in September.
Ange made a number of changes in Paisley that afternoon, but what will he do tonight?
Joe Hart will almost certainly start in goal, while we’re tipping Alistair Johnston to return to the team at right-back, with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Alexandro Bernabei making up the backline.
There have been some murmurings online of Josip Juranovic featuring at left-back with Bernabei feeling the effects of Saturday’s game at Hampden, but we’re giving the Argentinian the nod.
In midfield, we reckon Matt O’Riley could come back in for his first start since Ibrox, with Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate too important to drop.
Aaron Mooy and Daizen Maeda have been in terrific form but we could potentially see Ange give both a rest.
In attack, we’re going for the original front three from Postecoglou’s early days: Liel Abada, Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota.
That’s a total of three changes from the win over Kilmarnock on Saturday evening.
Expect the likes of James Forrest and David Turnbull to feature at some stage too.
Your predicted XI in full is: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Bernabei, McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate, Abada, Kyogo, Jota.
