Prediction: 4-1
St Johnstone
Following a hard-fought 2-1 win over Livingston, Celtic will look to move one closer to defending their Premiership trophy when they host St Johnstone to their Celtic Park on Matchday 19. The Hoops continue where they left before the World Cup break, and you should know that they are eyeing their eleventh consecutive league win. Croatia right-back Josip Juranovic is back to contention after he was rested in the last league match, while both McCarthy and Welsh should miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Saints aim to build on a 2-1 win over Ross County, but the visitors face an uphill task against the reigning champions. Experienced midfielder Alistair Crawford, who scored as a substitute in the last league game, is pushing for a start, while all Murray Davidson, Callum Booth, and Chris Kane continue to miss out with injuries. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Celtic look unstoppable at the moment.
