CELTIC youngster Owen Moffat has been handed his first competitive start in the Scottish Premiership clash with Covid-hit St Mirren.
The winger has impressed in substitute appearances for Ange Postecoglou’s side in recent weeks and is in from the first whistle tonight.
However, Joe Hart and Kyogo are not included in the squad for the trip to Paisley with Scott Bain starting in goal.
Carl Starfelt is also not named in the team-sheet for the visitors.
It’s a fairly familiar backline with Anthony Ralston and Liam Scales at full-back and Cameron Carter-Vickers and Stephen Welsh in the middle.
Callum McGregor, Nir Bitton and Tom Rogic continue in midfield behind Liel Abada, Mikey Johnston and Moffat.
For the Buddies it’s a number of enforced changes with talisman Jamie McGrath out amid the Covid outbreak.
Second-choice keeper Dean Lyness starts but the back-three is unchanged with Marcus Fraser, Joe Shaughnessy and Charles Dunne all in.
Matt Millar and Scott Tanser are at wing-back with Dylan Reid, Greg Kiltie and Jay Henderson in midfield.
Curtis Main starts up-front with youngster Kieran Offord.
CELTIC XI: Bain, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Welsh, Scales, Bitton, McGregor, Johnston, Rogic, Moffat, Abada.
Subs: Hazard, Taylor, McCarthy, Shaw, Henderson, Montgomery, Juranovic.
ST MIRREN XI: Lyness, Fraser, Shaughnessy, Dunne, Millar, Reid, Henderson, Kiltie, Tanser, Offord, Main.
Subs: Urminsky, Taylor, Jack, MacDonald, Kenny, McManus.
