Celtic are looking to continue their perfect start to the season this Saturday as they face a managerless St Johnstone in Premiership action.

Fresh off signing a new deal with Ayr, former Celtic skipper Scott Brown had been a contender for the St Johnstone managerial role after Craig Levein’s departure but has since ruled himself out.

Brendan Rodgers and his team will travel to Perthshire for an evening kick-off, aiming to extend their lead over Rangers and at least stay level on points with Aberdeen at the top of the table, with the Dons playing at 3pm.

When is the kick-off?

It’s a strange kick-off time for Celtic this weekend. The Hoops will get underway on Saturday, 28 September at 5:45 PM at McDiarmid Park, St Johnstone.

TV Channel?

The game will be televised on Premier Sports 1, following their new agreement with the SPFL.
