Celtic skipper Scott Brown serves the first game of a two-match suspension, as the Hoops continue their title celebrations against St Johnstone.

Brendan Rodgers' side have four games left to try and break their record points tally of 103. Celtic have 94 points with 12 more to play for, but they will also have one eye firmly on the Scottish Cup final.

Defender Mikael Lustig will be rested as they host fourth-placed St Johnstone. The 30-year-old has already played 50 games this season including Sweden internationals.
