Celtic will almost certainly be without defender Mikael Lustig for Saturday's Ladbrokes Premiership match at home to St Johnstone.

The Sweden full-back is struggling with a hamstring problem and will probably be sidelined for the Parkhead clash.

However, although defender Virgil van Dijk and winger James Forrest have been sitting out training, they should be available.

But striker Nadir Ciftci serves the final match of his six-game domestic ban.

Celtic boss Ronny Deila is still hopeful that Virgil van Dijk will remain at the club

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright has no fresh injury problems to worry about.

However, he will again be without defender Steven Anderson, who has injured his eye socket but hopes to be back after the international break.
