Prediction: 2-0
St Johnstone
Celtic will be aiming to build on the Scottish Cup win over Livingston when they face St Johnstone in the Premiership round 30. The Hoops have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Kyogo Furuhashi is pushing for a start as January signing Adam Idah failed to impress in the FA Cup triumph, while midfielder Hyun-jun Yang misses out through suspension.
The Saints, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Livingston in their last league match. St Johnstone, though, will have a much bigger fish to fry against Celtic, who are still in the two-horse title race with their bitter rivals Rangers. All Cameron MacPherson, Ross Sinclair, Drey Wright, and Alistair Crawford are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team. In the first half of the season Celtic defeated St Johnstone 3-1.
