Celtic face St. Johnstone at home on Sunday afternoon.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers could look to rest a number of his first-team stars on Sunday afternoon as the Hoops take on St. Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership at Paradise.
The Hoops are back in action just three days after producing a mammoth effort to beat Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg on Thursday night in their Europa League Round of 32 clash, with Callum McGregor scoring the only goal of the game.
Celtic face Roberto Mancini’s side for a second time on Thursday net week in Russia, and Rodgers will need his players at peak fitness if they are to secure a place in the Round of 16.

However, he might not be able to make wholesale changes to his side as a long list of players remain on the sidelines through injury.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon, defenders Marvin Compper, Dedryck Boyata and Anthony Ralston, midfielders Stuart Armstrong, Paddy Roberts and Jonny Hayes and striker Leigh Griffiths are all in the treatment room.

It should see the former Liverpool and Swansea manager make just three changes to the side that beat Zenit, with Charly Musonda, Odsonne Edouard and Scott Sinclair coming into the side.
That will see star striker Moussa Dembele, Frenchman Olivier Ntcham and in-form 24-year-old McGregor all drop to the bench.
