Team News
St. Johnstone
St. Mirren
- St Johnstone boss Craig Levein made three changes from the Saints team that fell to defeat against Hearts at Tynecastle by a 1-0 scoreline before Celtic swept them aside 3-1 at McDiarmid Park at the weekend.
- James Brown took Andy Considine's place in defence, as Saints switched to a back four. Graham Carey entered the five-man midfield, with both Stevie May and Chris Kane sitting amongst the substitutes on Sunday.
- In attack, Diallang Jaiyesimi - on loan from Charlton Athletic - gave Celtic a scare when he took the opportunity of a rare start and fired Saints in front at the weekend.
- Stephen Robinson named four changes to the St Mirren side that lost their midweek match to Ross County in Dingwall by a late goal in a 1-0 defeat, before they were brushed aside by Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox on Sunday.
- Richard Taylor replaced Charles Dunne, to rejoin Alex Gogic and Marcus Fraser in the Buddies' back three. Ryan Flynn started at right wing-back, with Keanu Baccus dropping to the bench as Caolan Boyd-Munce took his place in midfield.
- Alex Greive and Mikael Mandron made way for Jonah Ayunga to start as Saints' sole striker in Govan. He was supported by Greg Kiltie and Conor McMenamin as the shape was slightly altered.
