Conor Hazard has also been included in today’s lineup and supporters are impressed
Celtic fans have reacted with delight after Neil Lennon kept faith with the youngsters who drove them to victory against Lille.
Ismaila Soro, Conor Hazard and David Turnbull were the standouts in a 3-2 Europa League win on Thursday, and they’re all included in the starting lineup for today’s Premiership encounter with Kilmarnock.
Lennon will be hoping they can end Celtic’s dismal run of one win in five league matches, and supporters are pleased to see the trio given another chance.
Supporters had been calling for Lennon to make some dramatic changes, and the difference was notable in their midweek victory over the highly-rated French side.
Rangers’ 2-1 win over Dundee United at Tannadice means Steven Gerrard’s side are currently 16 points ahead of their rivals, meaning victory is crucial for Lennon’s men if they are to maintain hopes of winning a tenth consecutive title.
