Ange Postecoglou has addressed the reason for Cameron Carter-Vickers' omission from the Celtic squad for the St Mirren game.

The USA international defender - as well as Josip Juranovic - was not included in the Hoops contingent for the Sunday visit to Paisley.

Postecoglou told BBC Sportsound: "We've got [Alexandro] Bernabei and Oliver Abildgaard, who can play centre-back if we need to, so we've got good cover.

"Cameron pulled up a bit sore the other day while Josip has played a lot of football. Tony [Ralston]'s ready to go so we're comfortable with that."

Celtic team to face St Mirren: Hart; Ralston, Welsh, Jenz, Taylor; McGregor (C), Turnbull, Mooy; Abada, Kyogo, Maeda. Subs: Siegrist, Bernabei, Abildgaard, O'Riley, Hatate, Haksabanovic, Jota, Forrest, Giakoumakis
