Celtic take on FK Sarajevo at Parkhead this evening.

Celtic starting line-up: Bain; Ajer, Bitton, Simunovic, Bolingoli-Mbombo; Brown, McGregor, Christie; Forrest, Morgan, Edouard.

Celtic substitutes: Gordon, Jullien, Ralston, Hayes, Henderson, Sinclair, Griffiths.

Celtic are back in Champions League action tonight, as they play the second leg of their Champions League qualifying clash with FK Sarajevo at Parkhead.

The Bhoys came from a goal down to win the first leg 3-1, meaning they have one foot in the next round and merely have to avoid disaster against the Bosnian side tonight.

Scott Bain starts in goal once again, but no senior right back means Kristoffer Ajer has to once again fill in there, leaving Nir Bitton and Jozo Simunovic to play in the centre.

Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo is passed fit to play at left back with Kieran Tierney still out, and Scott Brown captains the side in a holding midfield role.

Brown will be supported by fellow Scotland internationals Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie, and whilst James Forrest starts on the right, Lewis Morgan comes in on the left flank after a promising cameo last week.

Odsonne Edouard is picked to lead the line once again, with Leigh Griffiths only on the bench as he continues his comeback towards competitive action.

New signing Christoper Jullien is also a substitute as he’s not yet fit to start, whilst Craig Gordon, Anthony Ralston, Jonny Hayes, Euan Henderson and Scott Sinclair are also on the bench.
