Celtic are back in Europa League action this evening.

Celtic starting line-up: Gordon; Lustig, Simunovic, Benkovic, Tierney; McGregor, Rogic, Christie; Forrest, Sinclair, Edouard.

Celtic substitutes: Bain, Izaguirre, Brown, Hayes, Morgan, Ntcham, Ajer.

Celtic take on Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League tonight, heading back into European action having thrashed Kilmarnock 5-1 on Saturday afternoon.

The Bhoys are in the box seat to qualify for the next round of the Europa League, needing just one point to ensure that RB Leipzig can’t catch them in second place.

Craig Gordon starts in goal once again, and will be protected by a back four of Mikael Lustig, Jozo Simunovic, Filip Benkovic and Kieran Tierney tonight.

Callum McGregor continues in holding midfield, with Tom Rogic and Ryan Christie both starting ahead of him, despite concerns in Australia about Rogic’s fitness.

James Forrest and Scott Sinclair start out wide, and will be supporting lone striker Odsonne Edouard in attack in a dangerous front three for Celtic.

With Leigh Griffiths out of action, there is no striker on the Celtic bench, though captain Scott Brown is named as a substitute once again as he builds back up to a return.

Scott Bain, Emilio Izaguirre, Jonny Hayes, Lewis Morgan, Olivier Ntcham and Kristoffer Ajer are also named on the bench tonight.
