CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS misses out as Celtic prepare to get back to winning ways in the Premiership against St Mirren at Parkhead tonight after firing blanks in the stalemate against Hibs at Easter Road at the weekend.
The USA World Cup centre-back didn’t even make the squad, presumably after sustaining an injury in Edinburgh. Livrpool loanee Nat Phillips is in at the start while Daizen Maeda drops to the bench with James Forrest making a rare start. David Turnbull also comes in for Paulo Bernardo.
TEAM: Hart; Johnston, Phillips, Scales, Taylor; Turnbull, McGregor, O’Riley; Forrest, Kyogo, Palma. Subs: Bain, Ralston, Yang, Holm, Nawrocki, Oh, Iwata, Bernardo, Maeda.
The Paisley club earned a point in a 2-2 draw in their last visit to the east end of Glasgow on May 20 when they led twice through strikes from Curtis Main before the Hoops responded. The Hoops had clinched the title a fortnight earlier in a 2-0 success at Tynecastle.
Earlier today, we asked you how much you could remember about past connections with the Paisley side in CQN‘s fun five-minute quiz.
