Strachan to make changes

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is expected to make changes for the visit of surprise Bank of Scotland Premier League leaders St Mirren.

Midfielders Stephen Pearson and Evander Sno impressed during the midweek friendly draw at Chelsea to push their claims for a start after the defeat at Hearts last week.

But the Hoops boss admits his squad picked up a number of slight knocks at Stamford Bridge although he is keeping his cards close to his chest on their identities.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Telfer, Caldwell, McManus, Wilson, Nakamura, Pearson, Jarosik, Petrov, McGeady, Zurawski, Miller, Lennon, McGovern, Riordan, Sno, Wallace, O’Dea.
