Celtic face Neil Lennon’s Hibernian on Sunday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic face a difficult trip to Easter Road on Sunday afternoon as they go up against Neil Lennon’s Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership with the unbeaten record still intact – and fans want Brendan Rodgers to start Olivier Ntcham.
In what is likely to be one of the hardest tests of Celtic’s Scottish Premiership season, Rodgers will be desperate to make it 68 games unbeaten as the Hoops remain seven points ahead of Old Firm rivals Rangers in first place.
Ex-Celtic ace Charlie Nicholas described the match as “footballing script”, stating that it would not surprise him to see former Bhoys manager Lennon become the man to end the Hoops’ mesmerising run.
Summer signing Ntcham, 21, came on at half-time during the 1-0 loss to Anderlecht and impressed in Rodgers’ midfield, despite being in and out of the side at the moment. He has been an unused substitute twice in Celtic’s last four games.
However, he is in line to start against Hibs on Sunday with mainstay Stuart Armstrong struggling to impress against Belgian champions Anderlecht after he was hauled off the Celtic Park pitch at half-time.
A handful of fans want to see Ntcham replace Scotland international Armstrong, with one fan describing the former Dundee United ace as “a waster”.
