Celtic prepares for upcoming William Hill Premiership match against St Johnstone
Summary

Celtic travels to McDiarmid Park on Wednesday for a William Hill Premiership fixture against St Johnstone. The club currently holds a perfect record after winning all five league matches this season. Manager Martin O’Neill faces roster adjustments as the team manages injuries to Alistair Johnston, Kasper Hogh, and Callum Osmand, while Hyun-Jun Yang is unavailable due to international duty. The squad is expected to maintain its current momentum in Perth before shifting focus to Sunday's Scottish League Cup quarter-final against Rangers. Tactical changes may include Sebastian Tounekti starting on the flank and Oliver Sorensen joining the central midfield pivot. Despite historical success against the Perth side, the visitors look to avoid a repeat of last year's 1-0 defeat at this venue.
