The undefeated Celtic will aim at its notable winning streak when they receive St Johnstone in a last Scottish clash of the Premier League on Sunday.
The Bhoys extended their unbeaten run to 17 matches when they edged out Motherwell 4-0 on Thursday, achieving their first win after the draw against Dundee United on Sunday. With 15 wins and two draws from 17 matches, they sit firmly at the top of the table.
On the other hand, St Johnstone is on a five-match winless streak. They will come into this match after a disappointing 1-2 loss to Dundee United last time out. However, with 4 wins in 19 games, they are at the back of the table lately.

Celtic will be without James Forrest (Foot) and Odin Thiago Holm (Calf) for this match due to their respective injuries. Alistair Johnston, injured in the hip, opposite Motherwell, remains a doubt for this match.
The Bhoys may have achieved a dominant victory against Motherwell, but Brendan Rodgers would be eager to bring some changes for this clash because of Celtic’s long schedule.
Alex Valle, Luke McCowan and Luis Palma will have the opportunity to start in the starting training.
Celtic predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Schmeichel (GK) — Ralston, Welsh, Scales, Valle — Hatate, McGregor, McCowan — Palma, Idah, Maeda.

For visitors, Cameron Macpherson (Hip), Sam McClelland (Achilles tendon) and uche ikpeazu will be low until the beginning of January due to their respective injuries.
Scotland striker Mackenzie Kirk, who has been in red form for St Johnstone despite the team’s horrific season, is shown to start in the previous line-up.
St Johnstone predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Rae (GK) — Sanders, Mikulic, Cameron — Keltjens, Wright, Spranger, Carey, Holt — Kirk, Mbunga-Kimpioka.

Celtic have been flying high with their impressive performance so far this season, and while St Johnstone is on a dreadful run. The hosts will be starting as a clear favorite for this match, and it is unlikely that St Johnstone will even stand a chance to compete against the leaders.
