Celtic take on St Johnstone on Wednesday evening hoping to maintain their five point lead at the top of the table.
The bhoys have had a winning start to their 2020 with a cup win over Partick Thistle and two SPFL wins against Kilmarnock and Ross County.
St Johnstone on a Wednesday night is the kind of games you need to grind out if you want to be champions and the bhoys must be on guard for a side who will do their best to frustrate.
Celtic can go one up top or they could switch it up to a 3-5-2; a less desirable plan B without Jeremie Frimpong to call upon.
As we get set for the 19:45 kick off, here’s Celtic’s provisional squad for the game as cited by RecordSport.
- Forster
- Bauer
- Hayes
- Ajer
- Bolingoli
- Taylor
- Jullien
- Simunovic
- Brown
- McGregor
- Arzani
- Rogic
- Ntcham
- Johnston
- Forrest
- Edouard
- Bayo
- Klimala
- Griffiths
- Christie
- Welsh
- Dembele
- Gordon.
Ajer back in the squad, no Frimpong with the player seeing a specialist on Tuesday about his leg injury.
Karamoko Dembele has been named in the provisional side, the winger played a bounce game against Huddersfield on Tuesday afternoon – could make the bench.
A Provisional squad is just that, provisional. The squad can be changed but it rarely changes.
