Gary McDonald is back in St Johnstone's starting XI after returning from a knee injury for today's clash against Scottish Premiership champions Celtic at McDiarmid Park.

However, Tam Scobbie and Murray Davidson remain unavailable.

The Bhoys are without full-back Emilio Izaguirre, who has been given time off ahead of his participation at the World Cup with Honduras, while Greek forward Georgios Samaras has been struggling with a virus and also won't feature.

Neil Lennon's side need two wins from their last two games to go past the 100-point mark in the league.
