Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League
Venue: Greenhill Road
Date: Saturday, 21st January
Kick-off: 1230 GMT
St Mirren new boy Dougie Imrie goes straight into Danny Lennon's squad for the clash with Celtic.
The 28-year-old forward finalised his move from Hamilton on a two-and-a-half year deal this morning.
Skipper Jim Goodwin remains on the sidelines with a calf strain.
James Forrest is back in the Celtic squad.
The Hoops winger has recovered from a virus and is likely to be straight back into the team.
Defenders Glenn Loovens (hamstring),
Mark Wilson (knee), and Daniel Majstorovic (fractured cheekbone) have all recovered and have trained this week.
"It is really good run that we are on and we want to build on that.
"The earlier kick-off is important if we get the three points and it maybe puts pressure onto Rangers.
"But it's down to us to get the three points. We just concentrate on our own game, that's the most important thing."
Celtic (from) Forster, Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre, Commons, Brown, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras, Stokes, Ki, Hooper, Forrest, Zaluska, Kelvin Wilson, Mark Wilson, Loovens, Majstorovic, Cha, McCourt, Keatings.
"They had a stop-start situation at the beginning of the season, so Neil Lennon and his staff have to take a great deal of credit for that run and getting to the top of the table. It is fantastic management.
"But we hope we can bring it to a halt. Our level of performances have been excellent regardless of the fact that Rangers was the last SPL game we won.
"We have not had the results to go with those performances and that has been disappointing for us.
"We feel that whenever we take to the field we have an opportunity and we are certainly in a better position now than when we went to Celtic Park the last time.
"We learned a great deal from that game and so hopefully we can put a spanner in Celtic's good run."
St Mirren (from): Samson, van Zanten, McAusland, Mair, Tesselaar, McLean, Barron, McGowan, Teale, Thompson, Imrie, Carey, Thomson, Smith, Murray, Hasselbaink, Mooy, Naismith, Reilly.
