Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic side to face St Mirren at Parkhead.
The Scottish champions go into their penultimate home game of the season on the back of a rare Scottish Premiership defeat after losing out to rivals Rangers at Ibrox. Todd Cantwel l, John Souttar and Fashion Sakala netted the goals for Michael Beale's side as he picked up a first win over the Hoops at the fifth attempt.
Celtic still have plenty to play for this season as they bid to secure a domestic Treble. The League Cup and title are already in the bag with just Inverness standing in the way of the Parkhead side and a clean sweep this season. But first up is the final three league games of the season starting today against the Buddies before a midweek clash with Hibernian at Easter Road before Trophy Day against Aberdeen in Glasgow's east end next weekend.

Speaking ahead of this one, No2 John Kennedy said: “No one’s guaranteed a place in the team. If they’re not performing then someone will be waiting to take their spot for a cup final.
“The first thing that comes is this weekend and we have to put things right and put in a performance and get back to what we expect.
"There’s always that drive and players are stimulated by playing for the club and going out to perform in every game.
“We still have the final which gives us that stimulus all the way to the end of the season.
“We’re not just playing games out and playing to finish, we want to finish as strong as we can.”
CELTIC XI: Hart, Ralston, Starfelt, Iwata, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.
Subs: Bain, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Bernabei, Forrest, Summers.
