Celtic are set to take on St. Johnstone at the weekend.

According to a report in the Scottish Sun, both Michael Johnston and Anthony Ralston could be handed chances for Celtic before the end of the season.

Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring through Celtic’s young players, and he has been impressed by both Johnston and Ralston.

The pair have been two of the Bhoys’ leading performers at youth level this term.

Rodgers was in attendance at Celtic under-20’s most recent match, which they won 3-0 against Rangers.

And Johnston and Ralston both caught the Northern Irish boss’s eye, when he was watching.

Celtic already have the league title wrapped up, so Rodgers feels that now is a good time to test out some of his younger players in the senior side.

Celtic’s next match comes against St. Johnstone on Saturday, when it is suggested that Johnston and Ralston could both start for Rodgers’ side.
