There is Friday night football at McDiarmid Park as St Johnstone take on Premiership champions Celtic, live on BT Sport at 7.45pm.

The sides have already met twice in Perth this season, with Ronny Deila's men winning 3-0 in August and 2-1 in February but Tommy Wright's team triumphed 1-0 at Parkhead in March thanks to a stunning goal from Danny Swanson.

Celtic wrapped up the title on May 2 and defeated closest challengers Aberdeen 1-0 at Pittodrie on Sunday, with skipper Scott Brown netting the only goal.

St Johnstone go into the game on the back of 1-1 draws against both Inverness CT and Dundee United, who they trail on goal difference in the race for a possible European berth.

Fourth in the table will be good enough for a Europa League place if Inverness CT, who are guaranteed to finish third, beat Falkirk in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden on May 30.

St Johnstone's home record this season is eight wins, four draws and six defeats while Celtic have won 14 times on their travels, drawing twice and losing twice - at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium and Tannadice.

Saints finish their season away to Aberdeen on Sunday May 24 while Celtic will receive the trophy after their home fixture with Inverness CT the same day.
