ANGE POSTECOGLOU has made three changes to today’s starting line-up from the team that beat Livingston 2-1 in midweek.
The Celtic boss has dropped Filipe Jota and Liel Abada to the substitutes’ bench for the visit of St Johnstone and reinstated Daizen Maeda and James Forrest.
Anthony Ralston is out after his injury against Livi and Aaron Mooy has come back into the midfield in what looks like an intriguing formation.
TEAM: Hart; Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; Forrest, McGregor, Mooy, O’Riley, Hatate; Maeda, Kyogo. Subs: Siegrist, Jenz, Giakoumakis, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Jota, Bernabei and Lawal.
