It's another double gameweek, this time it is Celtic's turn. After a some-what poor showing of only 63 points last gameweek, where all 6 midfielders and attackers blanked, so lets hope for better luck this time around.

Gameweek 7 Scout XI
Goalkeeper - Vasilias Barkas
Celtic have two games where they should be keeping a clean sheet, especially against a St. Mirren side that took 80 minutes to even have a shot in their last game.
Defenders - James Tavernier, Borna Barisic, Connor Goldson, Jon Guthrie, Danny McNamara
Another week, but the same three Rangers defenders. The Ibrox side still haven't conceded a goal yet this season, and until this changes they'll be in the side. Dundee United have only registered one shot on target in their last two games.
Livingston when they play at home have a great record. So any defensive asset is a great pick, Guthrie is a cheap option who provides a potential goal threat.
Danny McNamara has two man of the match performances so far this season. St. Johnstone will be looking to build on their clean sheet last time out as they take on a Motherwell side that have only scored in one game so far this season. The Irishman is looking dangerous down the wing and with Stevie May back fit and amongst the goals he'll have another option to aim at in the middle.
Midfielders - Ryan Christie, Alan Forrest, Lewis Ferguson
Christie will come back full of confidence after netting in both of Scotland's games over the international break. He also leads the league with 5 shots per game, surely they'll start finding the back of the net.
Forrest only has one goal contribution this season, but we back him to change that against a Hamilton team that has conceded the most goals so far his season.
Aberdeen have been strong since returning from their COVID break, winning all 3 of their games. Ferguson has scored twice, both penalties, and with at least three double gameweeks to come in the rest of this season, he's looking to be a good long term asset.
Attackers - Christian Doidge, Odsonne Edouard
Doidge looked like a risky pick when it was announced that Jan Alnwick had tested positive for COVID and the game could've been called off, but since it looks to be on, the Welshman looks to be a great option. St. Mirren are missing a key piece in the heart of their defence with Joe Shaughnessy sitting out both games due to his red card against Ross County.
Edouard is the last player of the Celtic trio in the team, with 1.03 goals per 90, the Frenchman is second among the 14 players that have scored at least two goals only behind teammate Albian Ajeti. With two favourable match-ups he is a must have.
