Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic starting XI to face St Mirren in Paisley with a number of high profile changes to his side.
The Hoops are looking to make it a magnificent seven as they bid to head into the international break with a 100 per cent league record after seven matches and restore their early five-point advantage over Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the Premiership table. The Light Blues won at home to Dundee United to bring the gap to two ahead of today's showdown.
The Scottish champions go into this clash on the back of midweek Champions League action against Shakhtar Donetsk. The domestic league leaders - who have scored a whopping 25 goals before today's clash - dominated for large periods of the game but had to settle for a share of the spoils after failing to find a crucial second goal despite a number of big chances. However, attentions now turn to the Buddies with Postecoglou and Co aiming to go into the international break on a high.

Ever-present No1 Joe Hart retains his place in goal with summer recruit and back-up Benjamin Siegrist on the bench.
Anthony Ralston, Stephen Welsh, Mortiz Jenz and Greg Taylor make up the backline.
Callum McGregor, David Turnbull and Aaron Mooy are in the midfield three with Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda wide with Kyogo Furuhashi leading the line once again, just like midweek.
The Hoops have plenty of strength and depth on the bench with the likes of Giorgos Giakmoumakis, Jota, Reo Hatate and Matt O'Riley. But there is no place in the squad for ever-present Cameron Carter-Vickers ahead of the international break.
CELTIC XI: Hart, Ralston, Welsh, Jenz, Taylor, McGregor, Turnbull, Mooy, Abada, Maeda, Kyogo
Subs : Siegrist, Giakoumakis, Haksabanovic, Jota, Bernabei, Abildgaard, O'Riley, Hatate, Forrest
