St Johnstone vs Celtic LIVE score team news and build-up ahead of the Premiership clash

They might be getting whiplash from how quickly things are moving but it's back to Premiership action for Celtic with a trip to St Johnnstone.

Ange Postecoglou' s team have stuttered a bit recently after a flying start to their season. Performances haven't been quite as fluid and one win from five, whichever way you slice it, doesn't make for great reading.

And they travel to Peth to face a Saints team who have saved their best football for on the road this season - their September win over St Mirren was handsome, but it was the one and only home league game in which they've scored a goal.

Nonetheless they don't concede many on home turf either and will be a tough nut to crack for a Hoops team short on numbers.

Captain Callum McGregor will be a big miss. He picked up an injury in their defeat to Leipzig but his red card last weekend means he'd have missed out anyway.

Carl Starfelt remains sidelined while Cameron Carter-Vickers is still touch-and-go.

Injuries are starting to ease up slightly now for Callum Davidson which comes as a big relief to the Saints boss. Callum Booth, Cammy Macpherson and Chris Kane remain out, but left-back Tony Gallacher made his return last weekend so he comes into contention.

And perhaps just in time as Adam Montgomery, who had played left wing-back for much of the early part of the season, is ineligible against his parent club.

Elsewhere, could there be a start for Canadian striker Theo Bair? He last started back in August but came off the bench to score against Kilmarnock last weekend and could replace one of experienced duo Nicky Clark or Stevie May.

With no Callum McGregor, will Oliver Abildgaard be thrust into action in the engine
