St Johnstone v Celtic on TV: Channel, kick-off time and live stream details for Premiership clash

Celtic will be aiming to keep themselves in top spot when they face St Johnstone in the Premiership this weekend.

Ange Postecolgou's men hold a two point lead over Rangers at the league summit but go into this one off the back of a Champions League defeat to RB Leipzig in Germany. They can put an extra bit of pressure on the Light Blues if they defeat Callum Davidson's men with Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Co kicking off later than their Old Firm rival.

The Hoops lost their first league game of the season at St Mirren before the international break before edging past Motherwell last time out to return to top spot after Rangers' win earlier in the day at Tynecastle against Hearts.
