Prediction: 1-2
Celtic
After dropping two points in a goalless draw with St. Mirren, Celtic will be looking to return to winning ways in the Scotland Premier League when they take on McDiarmid Park on Matchday 20. The Hoops are six points behind league leaders Rangers, meaning that this has to go down as yet another must-win game for the capital club. Key attacker Kyogo Furuhashi should be recalled to the starting XI after he was rested in the goalless draw with St. Mirren, whilst Turnbull, Ajeti, Jota, Giakoumakis, Dembele, and Jullien should miss out with injuries.
The Saints, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Ross County, and seeing that Celtic are eager to get back on course in the national championship, away win should be considered. You should know that Celtic defeated St. Johnstone in each of the previous four meetings between the two sides.
