Celtic v St Johnstone: team news, referee details, KO time & where to watch | OneFootball

Celtic travel to Perth to face St Johnston in this evening’s Premiership encounter. The Scottish Champions will look to go back to the top of the table, as Aberdeen currently lead in Dundee.

Team News

Celtic will be without Cameron Carter-Vickers this evening as the USA Internationalist continues to suffer from a toe injury. Brendan’s side will be looking to continue their brilliant start to the season, facing off against the managerless Saints.

The manager will likely look to manage his first team’s involvement, especially given the quick turnaround before Tuesday’s Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.

Kasper Schmeichel will start in nets. The Dane is yet to concede on league duty with Celtic.

The backline will likely consist of Alistair Johnston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor.

In midfield, expect Callum McGregor to be joined by Arne Engels and Reo Hatate.

In attack, you would expect Kyogo to lead the line with Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn on the flanks.

Predicted XI: Schmeichel; Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, Hatate, Engels; Kühn, Kyogo, Maeda.
