Brendan Rodgers has made one change from the Celtic side that defeated Hearts last weekend as his team heads to McDiarmid Park in search of one of the two wins needed to wrap up the Scottish Premiership title…
The Celtic team today to take on St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park sees Maik Nawrocki dropped to the bench while Auston Trusty returns from injury. It’s exactly the team and bench that we predicted on The Celtic Star yesterday.
It’s a beautiful Sunday in Perth and the weather is lovely too!
The Celtic team is as follows…
Sinisalo, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Schlupp, Engels, McGregor, Hatate, Kuhn, Maeda, Jota.
Subs: Bain, Taylor, Nawrocki, Idah, Yang, McCowan, Bernardo, Forrest, Ralston.
Here’s the St Johnstone team to take on Celtic…
Brendan Rodgers explained his decision to make the change in bringing back Austin Trusty for Maik Nawriocki in his pre-match interview with BBC Scotland. The Celtic manager said:
“I prefer a left-footed centre-half, it felt natural to put [Auston Trusty] back in.
Every game is different, we played really well here earlier in the season. We want to be able to bring that performance again today. The level of our football was fast and dynamic and we want to do that again. We know we have to be aggressive in our counter-pressing,” Brendan Rodgers.
Enjoy the match whether you are lucky enough to be at the game or alternatively watching on Sky Sports or on Celtic TV overseas. Let’s get this done today and set up the title winning party at Paradise on Saturday.
Come on you Bhoys in Green, let’s have a Beautiful Sunday!
