Celtic take on St Mirren away from home this evening.

Celtic starting line-up: Bain; Lustig, Simunovic, Ajer, Izaguirre; Brown, Ntcham, McGregor; Forrest, Weah, Burke.

Celtic substitutes: De Vries, Edouard, Rogic, Benkovic, Sinclair, Toljan, Christie.

Celtic are back in action this evening as they travel to St Mirren Park to take on St Mirren, and will be looking to build on Sunday’s Old Firm win over Rangers.

Neil Lennon has been forced to deal with some injury problems after that game, with Dedryck Boyata and Kieran Tierney both leaving the field of play due to injury concerns.

Scott Bain keeps his place in goal, with Mikael Lustig and Kristoffer Ajer keeping their places at right back and centre back respectively, whilst Jozo Simunovic and Emilio Izaguirre come in for Boyata and Tierney respectively.

Scott Brown starts in midfield once again, alongside Olivier Ntcham and Callum McGregor, whilst TImothy Weah is handed a rare start under Lennon, starting on the left wing.

Sunday’s match winner James Forrest starts on the right, with Oliver Burke brought back into the side to lead the attack, meaning Odsonne Edouard is only on the bench.

Filip Benkovic is left on the bench despite that Boyata injury, and he is joined by Edouard, Dorus de Vries, Tom Rogic, Scott Sinclair, Jeremy Toljan and Ryan Christie.
