Celtic return to action today as they host St Johnstone at Parkhead, with Neil Lennon in desperate need of a result.
The Bhoys were beaten 4-2 at AC Milan on Thursday night, and the pressure is on Lennon domestically after a Scottish League Cup exit at the hands of Ross County last week.
Fans will be desperate for a positive result today, and Lennon may need to make changes for today’s game.
With that in mind, here’s our prediction for Celtic’s starting line-up ahead of today’s game…
Vasilis Barkas should keep his place in goal despite leaking four goals at Milan, as he needs a consistent run in the side.
Whilst Hatem Abd Elhamed featured against Milan, Jeremie Frimpong could move back into a right back role, with Greg Taylor on the left.
Christopher Jullien and Nir Bitton seem a strong bet to start at centre back, with Shane Duffy a doubt and Kristoffer Ajer out of form.
Scott Brown and Callum McGregor should start in central midfield, whilst the absence of Mohamed Elyounoussi could be a chance for Diego Laxalt to play further forward on the left flank.
With Tom Rogic as a number and Ryan Christie on the right flank, lone striker Odsonne Edouard should have plenty of support around him.
Elhamed, Ajer, Scott Bain, Olivier Ntcham, David Turnbull, Albian Ajeti and Leigh Griffiths should be among the players in contention for places on the bench.
Predicted Celtic XI: Barkas; Frimpong, Jullien, Bitton, Taylor; Brown, McGregor; Christie, Rogic, Laxalt; Edouard.
