A victory could potentially elevate Celtic to the top spot in the league standings, either momentarily for 24 hours or perhaps for a more extended period of time.
Last weekend, the defending champions took a break from their pursuit of Rangers to compete in the Scottish Cup quarterfinals. Now, having secured a place in the next round at Hampden, Brendan Rodgers’ squad refocuses on league duties despite facing injuries.
This weekend, Liam Scales will be absent, alongside captain Callum McGregor and winger Luis Palma. However, Cameron Carter-Vickers’ return suggests a direct substitution in the defensive lineup for the Bhoys.
Given the narrow gap at the top of the table, this development is particularly advantageous for Celtic, potentially applying early pressure on Philippe Clement’s Rangers.
Their opponent, managed by Craig Levein, has a history of securing significant results against Celtic. St Johnstone, under Levein’s leadership, has been improving lately, but they must maintain their winning streak to have any chance of breaking into the top six, a feat that remains mathematically plausible.
For those interested in following the action at Parkhead this weekend, here are the details:
When is the Celtic vs. St Johnstone match? The Celtic vs. St Johnstone fixture is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday), March 16, 2024. The game will take place at Celtic Park in Glasgow. Kickoff is set for the traditional start time of 3:00 PM.
