MARTIN O’NEILL has again given the nod to Tomas Cvancara to lead the Celtic attack for the crucial Premiership game against St Mirren at Parkhead this afternoon.
The towering Czech international fired blanks against Dundee last weekend before being replaced by eventual matchwinner Kelechi Iheanacho.
The Nigerian international striker is among the stand-by squad. Reo Hatate is also on the substitutes’ bench while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian again starts alongside Callum McGregor and Benjamin Nygren.
TEAM: Sinisalo; Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; Nygren, McGregor, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Yang, Cvancara, Maeda. Subs: Doohan, McCowan, Iheanacho, Tounekti, Engels, Saracchi, Hatate, Arthur and Forrest.
Earlier today, we asked how much you could remember about recent associations with the Saints in CQN‘s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.
Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.
