St. Mirren
- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named one enforced change to the Celts side that was held at home 2-2 against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, before a goalless draw at Easter Road against Hibernian on Saturday afternoon.
- Joe Hart continued in goal behind a back four of Alastair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor. Club captain Callum McGregor was joined by Matt O'Riley and Paulo Bernardo - replacing Reo Hatate - in midfield.
- Luis Palma and Daizen Maeda began on the flanks, both in support of main marksman Kyogo Furuhashi. David Turnbull, James Forrest, Mikey Johnston and Hyun-Gyu Oh all came off the bench in Edinburgh but to no avail.
- Stephen Robinson named two changes to the St Mirren side whose unbeaten start to the Scottish Premiership season came to an end courtesy of a 3-0 defeat to Rangers in Paisley, before they smashed St Johnstone 4-0 at the weekend.
- Ryan Strain, who made his Australia debut during the international break, was sent off against the Gers over three weeks ago. But the Buddies hadn't played since then, so Ryan Flynn took his spot at right wing-back.
- The only other alteration saw Greg Kiltie and Conor McMenamin - who netted for Northern Ireland against San Marino recently - supporting top scorer Mikael Mandron as opposed to Toyosi Olusanya.
Celtic should have no problems here if they play like they did against Atletico Madrid.
Celtic 3-1
