Martin O'Neill names Celtic lineup for Europa League match against St Johnstone
Summary

Martin O'Neill has finalized the Celtic starting XI for the match at McDiarmid Park against St Johnstone. The lineup features Sam Johnstone as the starting goalkeeper, while Oliver Sorensen earns his first start for the club. Dane Murray and Hogh also feature in the side as the team begins a period of heavy scheduling. Celtic faces a stretch of matches that includes a Premier Sports Cup Quarter Final at Ibrox this Sunday, followed by a league fixture at Celtic Park next week. The team is also preparing to host Ferencvaros at Celtic Park to open their UEFA Europa League campaign. Large numbers of away supporters are expected to attend the match in Perth after the club decided to sell tickets rather than leave sections of the ground empty.
