    Eboue Kouassi injured im guessing? He's been in the side for ages ahead of Bitton and suddenly Bitton starts and Eboue isn't even on the bench?

    Rodgers probably thinks Bitton will help more defensively and at set pieces. St Johnstone are one of the more physical/direct teams and with out Dembele and Lustig we're lacking height

    Would rather Henderson starting over Biton but other than that, looks good. Wee Gamboa deserves some game time at some point.

    Full team news from the Celtic website
    TEENAGERS Mikey Johnston and Anthony Ralston will both start for Celtic today at home to St Johnstone as Brendan Rodgers makes four changes to the team which trounced Rangers 5-1 last week at Ibrox.

    It will be Johnston’s competitive debut for the Bhoys, while Ralston comes in for his first senior start, having made two substitute appearances for the first team.

    The duo, who are both 18, have impressed for the Development Side this season, including in last week’s dominant 3-0 Youth Cup final victory over Rangers at Hampden.

    Ralston replaces Mikael Lustig at right-back and Johnston starts in place of Scott Sinclair on the left of an attacking trident behind lone striker Leigh Griffiths.

    Elsewhere, Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic are also restored to the team, with Callum McGregor and the suspended Scott Brown dropping out.

    The six-in-a-row champions will be aiming to stretch their unbeaten run in domestic football since the start of the season to 43 games against the Perth side, and a win would move them onto 97 points in the league table.


    CELTIC (4-2-3-1) Gordon; Ralston, Simunovic, Boyata, Tierney; Bitton, Armstrong; Roberts, Rogic, Johnston; Griffiths
    Subs: de Vries, Toure, Sinclair, Gamboa, McGregor, Forrest, Henderson

    Gave him the confidence boost he needs to bag a goal today.

    When he scores you know it's due to my message! :34:
