CELTIC’S Scotland World Cup stars Anthony Ralston and Kieran Tierney return to the first team for the Premiership eencounter against St Mirren in Paisley this evening.
The international double-act came on as substitutes in the 4-0 win over Kilmarnock a fortnight ago, but they get the nod to face Steven Robinson’s side from the start on this occasions.
TEAM: Schmeichel; Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Maeda, Kenny, Tounekti. Subs: Sinisalo, Nygren, Balikwisha, Yang, McCowan, Yamada, Bernardo, Murray and Donovan.
