Celtic substitutes: De Vries, Bitton, Dembele, Sinclair, Rogic, O’Connell, Forrest,
Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action this evening having beaten Rangers 1-0 in the Scottish League Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Brendan Rodgers’ side impressed on Sunday, but he has chosen to rotate much of his side for this evening’s trip to Ross County.
Craig Gordon keeps out Dorus De Vries in goal, but Cristian Gamboa starts at right back, with Mikael Lustig shifting in to play at centre back, joining Erik Sviatchenko and Emilio Izaguirre in defence.
It’s a much-changed midfield, as Stuart Armstrong and Callum McGregor feature in central midfield, with Patrick Roberts, Ryan Christie and Liam Henderson ahead of them, supporting lone striker Leigh Griffiths, who has been given a start in place of Moussa Dembele.
Dembele joins De Vries on the bench, along with Nir Bitton, Scott Sinclair, Tom Rogic, Eoghan O’Connell and James Forrest.
Rodgers has plenty of firepower at his disposal on the bench, but will be hoping that his fringe players can impress in rare first-team opportunities this evening.
