Scott Brown banned for Celtic vs St Johnstone match

CELTIC skipper Scott Brown is suspended for Sunday’s Ladbrokes Premiership clash with St Johnstone.

Australia midfielder Tom Rogic could get some game time after being on the bench for the last two games following his recovery from the knee injury which has kept him out for two months.

Nir Bitton could be out for the season with a knee problem and joins Dedryck Boyata (groin), Craig Gordon (knee), Leigh Griffiths (calf), Marvin Compper (calf strain), Jonny Hayes (broken leg), Anthony Ralston (knee), Stuart Armstrong (hernia operation) and Patrick Roberts (hamstring) on the sidelines.

Provisional squad: De Vries, Lustig, Tierney, Hendry, Ajer, Gamboa, Simunovic, Ntcham, McGregor, Musonda, Rogic, Forrest, Sinclair, Dembele, Edouard, Kouassi, Miller, Bain.
