Team News: Rodgers makes 10 changes with Forrest dropping to the bench

Brendan Rodgers has made 10 changes to the Celtic lineup for their final SPFL Premiership game of the season against St Mirren.

Callum McGregor is joined by 10 different teammates in the starting XI as the Hoops get ready to lift the SPFL Premiership trophy, celebrating their 55th Scottish league title.

Significant changes were anticipated, though it’s somewhat surprising to see James Forrest on the bench as he continues his pursuit of a goal in a 16th consecutive season.

A second-half appearance around the hour mark might boost the 33-year-old’s chances of finding the net.

Liam Scales lines up alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers in central defence, with Sean McArdle a notable omission from the bench.

Paulo Bernardo steps in for the injured Reo Hatate in the usual midfield trio, while Luke McCowan is expected to get some game time as he aims to secure a starting spot for next Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final.

CELTIC: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, Engels, Bernardo; Kuhn, Idah, Maeda

SUBS: Sinisalo, Trusty, Yang, McCowan, Schlupp, Nawrocki, Kenny, Forrest, Ralston
