Celtic travel to Perth on Sunday as they look to build on their victory over Sarajero in the Europa League.
The Hoops are now through to the group stages, but they know they'll have to put that to the back of their mind when they take on St Johnstone this weekend.
Neil Lennon will be without James Forrest, Nir Bitton and Albian Ajeti for the clash, but how will he set up?
Here Herald and Times Sport has predicted his starting XI for the McDiarmid Park match.
Formation: 3-5-2
Vasilis Barkas
Is starting to settle into his role as Celtic's No1, so will be a certainty to start in the Hoops goal.
Christopher Jullien
Was benched against Sarajevo during the week, but with Nir Bitton out injured expect him to come into the starting XI.
Shane Duffy
Will be utilised for his aerial threat in the back three. Has started life well at his boyhood heroes and has chipped in with a few goals too.
Kristoffer Ajer
The Norwegian will start on the left side of Celtic's back three and will be tasked with the job of stepping forward into the attack with the Hoops expected to control possesion.
Jeremie Frimpong
An attacking threat and assured defensively. Looks like he is really growing into his role as Celtic's first choice right back.
Callum McGregor
A certainty to start for Celtic. Will always be in the Celts starting XI if fit to play.
Scott Brown
Another who will likely start in midfield. Was hailed by his manager this week, so expect him to start alongside McGregor.
David Turnbull
Has had plenty time off the bench for Celtic of late, but could make a start in Perth. Would provide the drive and energy that the Hoops need in the middle.
Greg Taylor
Another one who is growing in confidence. No real threat for his position at the minute, but has been playing well in recent games.
Leigh Griffiths
The Scotland international could be a shock inclusion for Sunday's game. He is back from injury and has a good record at McDiarmid Park.
Odsonne Edouard
Scored the winner on Thursday and Neil Lennon will be hoping that he can kick on now and put his injury woes behind him.
