Celtic have handed a debut to Yuki Kobayashi but key man Cameron Carter Vickers is absent. Giorgos Giakoumakis also doesn't make the squad amid swirling ...

A goal down inside 15 minutes is the nightmare scenario for teams coming to Parkhead, yet Saints came straight back at Celtic as Joe Hart had to divert a long ranger from Jonah Ayunga. Celtic had the game faces on against a team who is about as close to a bogey side the champions get these days. The flag went up and VAR rubber stamped the call but it was an early warning from a side that can cause any rival grief. St Mirren are still the only domestic side to earn a win bonus against Postecoglou’s men, when they did a number on them back in September. Jota was jinking, Abada driving and O’Rielly passing and probing. The Saints striker is usually a bull in search of a china shop and he left a few cracks on the Hearts backline last Friday, when the Jambos sneaked a win with a little help from a brutally harsh VAR non penalty call. Celtic kept on it and David Turnbull made it 4-0 with a pearler from long range. Boss Steven Robinson lost Mark O’Hara but it was a major boost having Dunne out of the bad books and in the side. It's the time of year when a team sheet can turn into a game of Cluedo, with fans left guessing about the fates of certain players. There are easier introductions than a run out against Curtis Main mind you. Liel Abada was on hand to slot home after Trevor Carson denied debutant Yuki Kobayashi and Carl Starfelt. It turned out it was the treatment table instead – at least for now.

Cameron Carter Vickers also rested as Celtic aim to keep the gap at the top to nine points when they face St Mirren.

Quite the shock start for Kobayashi means that Cameron Carter-Vickers is absent, with the USA international failing to make the bench. But there is one glaring absence; Giorgos Giakoumakis has been left out of the squad, with the Greek not even making the bench - and that could all but confirm his exit from the club as a move away from Celtic Park looks imminent. [Scottish Premiership](https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/all-about/scottish-premiership) - with Yuki Kobayashi making his first start at centre-back. Just the four changes for the Hoops; Alistair Johnston comes back into the side for Alexandro Bernabei, with Josip Juranovic dropping to the left-hand side of defence. [Celtic](https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) got lucky on Saturday evening with a contentious stoppage-time VAR decision against [Kilmarnock](https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/all-about/kilmarnock-fc) in their Scottish League Cup semi-final - though based on the run of play, they deserved to go through and rightly set up an Old Firm bout in the final for silverware at Hampden. [Postecoglou](https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/all-about/ange-postecoglou) knows that the mid-table Championship outfit will likely cause little problems in Glasgow and thus could field a weakened team against Dougie Imrie's side - which means that stars such as Callum McGregor, Jota and Kyogo Furuhashi will aim to build on their win across the city with another one against Stephen Robinson's men tonight.
