Celtic take on Lithuanian side FK Suduva in the Europa League tonight.
Celtic starting line-up: Gordon; Gamboa, Simunovic, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, McGregor, Johnston; Dembele.
Celtic substitutes: Bain, Izaguirre, Lustig, Kouassi, Griffiths, Rogic, Sinclair.
Celtic are in Europa League qualifying action this evening as they travel to take on FK Suduva, with a win taking the Bhoys a step closer to a group stage spot in the competition.
After their disastrous Champion League qualifying exit at the hands of AEK Athens last week, Celtic have to move on to the next best alternative, which is a passage towards the Europa League.
Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to make the most of this opportunity, and has gone with a strong line-up, starting with goalkeeper Craig Gordon between the sticks for Celtic.
Cristian Gamboa continues at right back ahead of Mikael Lustig, with Jozo Simunovic and Kristoffer Ajer featuring at centre back in Dedryck Boyata’s absence, whilst Kieran Tierney is at left back.
Scott Brown and linked-away Olivier Ntcham feature in the centre of midfield, whilst Callum McGregor starts in attacking midfield, with James Forrest and youngster Mikey Johnston on the flanks, as Johnston makes his first European start for the club.
Moussa Dembele features in attack with Odsonne Edouard unavailable, and Leigh Griffiths is only on the bench as Rodgers goes with just the one striker tonight.
Scott Bain, Emilio Izaguirre, Eboue Kouassi, Tom Rogic and Scott Sinclair are all named on the bench, joining Lustig and Griffiths as substitutes.
