Another chance for Jonah Ayunga from a fine Curtis Main cross, but the striker heads straight at goalkeeper Liam Kelly.

Former Aberdeen manager Stephen Glass is at Celtic Park to watch his former side this afternoon.

Glass was dismissed as Dons boss in February after just 11 months in charge.

He pointed to the sales of Calvin Ramsay and Lewis Ferguson for a combined £7m this summer as proof he had done some things right.

"They say managers need to get three or four transfer windows to shape their team and I'm proof that you don't always get that," he tells Sky Sports.

"We brought through Connor Barron, who is a big part of the team. Calvin Ramsay had only played one game before we came in and he's made the club money moving to Liverpool. Lewis Ferguson too - he was brought in by Derek McInnes, a great decision by him.

"So there were success stories, but it's important you reflect and you know you could have done better at times, but that's part of your growth as a manager."

Sean Goss goes into the referee's book as the midfielder takes a dramatic dive looking for Motherwell's second penalty of the afternoon.

Changes for both sides in Paisley.

Dean Cornelius replaces Blair Spittal in Motherwell's midfield, while Curtis Main is on for Alex Greive up front for St Mirren.

Celtic: Hart, Juranovic, Welsh, Carter-Vickers, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Maeda, Jota, Kyogo.

Substitutes: Siegrist, Jenz, Giakoumakis, Abada, Mooy, Turnbull, Bernabei, Forrest, Ralston.

Aberdeen: Roos, Richardson, McCrorie, Stewart, Coulson, Ramadani, Polvara, Kennedy, Besuijen, Hayes, Miovski.

Substitutes: Lewis, Lopes, Watkins, McLennan, Duncan, Milne, Roberts, Harvey, Ramirez.

A rare sight at goal for Motherwell, but midfielder Sean Goss sends his curling drive well wide.

St Mirren continue to press and Ryan Strain has a sight at the goal from a headed clearance, but the full-back slices wildly wide.

The Australian missed a chance similarly in the first half - obviously finishing is not his best quality.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou on BBC Sportsound: "It's a different feeling this season, we've had a good pre-season and we're ready to go, knowing there will be more challenges for us.

"[Our ambitions are to] be the best football team we can be. That was our target last year as well, that took us to a pretty good place. We're going to be better than that this year and we've already said that from the first day of pre-season.

"We can't just come back and expect success to come our way, we need to be better - that's our ambition and always will be."

Postecoglou also expects further transfer business but says nothing is certain at the moment.

Aberdeen boss Jim Goodwin tells BBC Sportsound: "We'll go 4-2-3-1. We need to be defensively organised. During the League Cup group stage, we've carried a real attacking threat.

"We haven't got carried away that we got through in the manner we did, but we've taken confidence from it. We know today will be a step up in quality and class.

"It's our job to try quieten the crowd as early as possible and take the game to Celtic."

Goodwin also says he is still "very active" in the transfer market and wants "at least two, possibly three" new players.

St Mirren's Scott Tanser picks up an injury and is replaced at full-back with Richard Tait.

Tanser had apparently been an injury doubt ahead of the game.

St Mirren have started where they left off in the first half and are applying most of the early pressure.

St Mirren get the second half under way looking to make up for those missed chances and falling behind to that Kevin van Veen penalty kick.

Aberdeen boss Jim Goodwin has made two changes to the XI that ended their League Cup group campaign with a 3-0 win over Raith Rovers.

On-loan Celtic defender Liam Scales can't play against his parent club and therefore drops out along with teenager Mason Hanock, who has since joined Arbroath on loan.

In comes left-back Hayden Coulson for his Aberdeen debut, while Dante Polvara slots into midfield.

Along with Coulson, goalkeeper Kelle Roos, Jayden Richardson, Anthony Stewart, Ylber Ramadani and Bojan Miovski are all making their first Premiership appearances.

Kick-off time is closing in at Celtic Park, where Ange Postecoglou has gone for continuity, naming no debutants in his starting XI.

Centre-back Stephen Welsh, however, makes his first competitive start since February as Carl Starfelt remains short of match fitness.

Seven of Celtic's line-up started their final game of the 2021-22 title-winning campaign as new summer signings Benjamin Siegrist, Aaron Mooy, Mortiz Jenz and Alexandro Bernabei take their places on the bench.
