Celtic take on Hamilton Academical at Celtic Park this afternoon.
Celtic starting line-up: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Ajer; Brown; Forrest, Rogic, McGregor, Tierney; Griffiths, Dembele.
Celtic substitutes: Bain, Gamboa, Hayes, Ntcham, Johnston, Sinclair, Christie.
Celtic are back in league action this afternoon as they take on Hamilton Academical at Celtic Park, just days after a Europa League qualifying draw with FK Suduva.
The Bhoys haven’t been in the best form to open the season, and a win today would be greatly appreciated ahead of next weekend’s Old Firm derby with Rangers.
Craig Gordon starts in goal today, with contract rebel Dedryck Boyata returning to a three-man defence which also features Mikael Lustig and Kristoffer AJer.
Scott Brown will play in holding midfield with Kieran Tierney and James Forrest out wide as ‘wing backs’, though they will be more focused on attacking than defending today.
Callum McGregor and Tom Rogic will then be given the licence to get forward and support the front two of Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths as Rodgers reverts to 3-5-2.
That means that Scott Sinclair is only on the bench, alongside Scott Bain, Cristian Gamboa, Jonny Hayes, Olivier Ntcham, Mikey Johnston and Ryan Christie.
