Celtic v St Johnstone: tips, betting preview and TV details

TV: Premier Sports, 1.30pm Sunday

William Hill Scottish Cup fifth round

Celtic are aiming to win their 24th successive cup tie, which would be a new record, and they should get it by easing past St Johnstone.

This is the third time these sides have met in 11 days and the Hoops won both of the other games 2-0.

Despite a lengthy list that appears to be making no impact, Brendan Rodgers' side should win this William Hill Scottish Cup tie with another clean sheet at Parkhead.

Saints had their chances in Perth last week before succumbing, but it's hard to see them posing much of a threat in Glasgow.

Recommendation
Celtic to win to nil
1pt 5-6 general
