Celtic v St Johnstone preview

Admin, don't make this live, game is tomorrow

Good news is Tam Rogic was back in full training yesterday but I imagine the 3 big games over the next 7 days might be a bit too soon for him.

The games will probably come too soon for Kouassi Eboue as well who despite mischievous reporting from the Sun, DID NOT catch the deadly virus Malaria. He felt unwell and was taken to hospital to be checked out and was then released a short time later and trained yesterday with the rest of the team.

The other injury doubts are Mikael Lustig and Leigh Griffiths but it looks like both of them will be fine for tomorrow, if not most definitely against Hearts on Sunday.

Tomorrow's game is a chance for the team to equal an incredible record set by the great Lisbon Lions all those years ago and it would be naïve to suggest it won't be on their minds knowing they have the chance to share a record with what was our greatest ever side.

I think it will be a tough game tomorrow, I actually think it will be the toughest of our next 3 games and I'd settle for a 1-0 win right now.

A chance to go 22 points clear at the top, although Aberdeen do have a game in hand which could close that down to 21 if they win it.

Team for me would be:

Gordon

Lustig
Erik
Jozo
Izzy (keep KT for Sunday)

Brown
McGregor

Roberts
Armstrong
Sinclair

Dembele.
