Celtic have two games in hand on Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership and one of them comes away from home against St Mirren tonight.
Win both, and they’ll be level on points with Steven Gerrard’s side in what looks set to be a tight title race this season.
Another thumping win like the 5-0 triumph against Ross County on Saturday would help Neil Lennon’s side close the goal difference gap.
And why would Lennon tinker with the formula which got the job done so emphatically at the weekend?
The switch to 3-5-2 really worked, although Lennon told BBC goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas had a bit more work to do than he’d have liked.
He should start again here, behind a central defensive trio of Kristoffer Ajer, Christopher Jullien and Shane Duffy, fresh from his goalscoring debut in the aforementioned 5-0.
James Forrest remains the best left wing back option. He and Jeremie Frimpong can bomb forward at will in this system.
Perhaps David Turnbull has a case for starting ahead of Scott Brown but you don’t drop your captain when you’ve just won 5-0.
Olivier Ntcham will provide the bite and Callum McGregor the craft in support of Odsonne Edouard and Albian Ajeti in attack.
That front duo looked so dangerous against Ross County and could create havoc once again if Lennon goes with an unchanged team.
