Celtic play host to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership tonight.

Celtic starting line-up and substitutes:

The Hoops head into tonight’s game on the back of three straight wins since they resumed action after the winter break, scoring 10 goals and conceding none.

The Saints, meanwhile, have won two and lost one of their last three outings, and they have impressed on the whole this season.

Celtic currently sit top of the pile, and will be looking to extend their lead over second placed Rangers to six points with a win at Parkhead tonight, whilst St Johnstone can leapfrog Hearts into fifth place if they manage to pull off a miraculous victory at the home of the champions.

Tommy Wright’s men have not beaten Brendan Rodgers’ side in nine attempt in all competitions, having last won against the Glasgow giants in May 2016.

St Johnstone will be desperate to give a good account of themselves against Celtic tonight, having lost the reverse fixture 6-0 at McDiarmid Park in October.

Celtic are strong favourites to win the match, however.

The game kicks off tonight at 19:45.
