There's no let-up for Celtic as their busy schedule continus with a home clash against in-form opposition
Their old gaffer's saying was 'We never stop' and the current schedule certainly isn't allowing Celtic much room for that.
But like Ange Postecoglou, Brendan Rodgers has got the Premiership champions clear in first place, and will be keen to keep it that way. After a 0-0 draw with Hibs at the weekend allowed Rangers to cut their gap to five points, attentions now turn to hosting St Mirren tonight at Parkhead. Reo Hatate has been confirmed out until after Christmas in a serious midfield blow, but boss Rodgers is also boosted by returns to training for a host of his injured cohort. Whether the likes of Stephen Welsh, Marco Tilio and Maik Nawrocki are fit to play is another question as Stephen Robinson's Buddies look to spring a surprise in Glasgow's east-end. There will be an added backdrop off the pitch too, even if it will appear quiet inside the ground.
Ultras group the Green Brigade have been indefinitely banned by Celtic after a run of incidents forced club chiefs into action. Their North Curve will be an unusually quiet corner and that'll become evident come kick-off. The show goes on though with the potential for rotation in store and here's how Celtic could line-up against St Mirren.
