Team news

Celtic Jeremie Frimpong and Nir Bitton are doubts, while Ryan Christie, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Hatem Elhamed are out.

Match preview

Celtic can keep the pressure on Rangers with a bloodless win in Perth against St Johnstone.

The Saints have given up three of their four stands at McDiarmid Park to the visiting hordes from Glasgow and those Hoops fans will expect them to get the job done with the minimum of fuss.

Celtic still aren't quite firing on all cylinders, but it's hard to see a Saints side lacking in numbers inflicting any real harm on Neil Lennon's side's title charge.

Home manager Tommy Wright expressed his frustration at the club's transfer policy last week and they look short of creativity with Matty Kennedy off to Aberdeen and Murray Davidson injured.

Key stat

Saturday's 2-1 win against Kilmarnock was the first time in ten league game Saints have netted more than once.
