Celtic are back in Europa League action tonight as they host FK Suduva.
Celtic starting line-up: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham, McGregor; Johnston, Sinclair, Griffiths.
Celtic substitutes: Bain, Izaguirre, Gamboa, Hayes, Christie, Rogic, Forrest.
Celtic can book a place in the group stage of the Europa League tonight if they can see off Lithuanian side FK Suduva at Celtic Park this evening, just hours after rivals Rangers made it through.
The Bhoys drew 1-1 in Lithuania last week and need to avoid embarrassment tonight, with the away goal scored a week ago a major boost to Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Tonight, Rodgers has once again gone with veteran Craig Gordon in goal, with wantaway defender Dedryck Boyata in the back four along with Mikael Lustig, Kristoffer Ajer and Kieran Tierney.
Scott Brown will sit in front of the back four, with Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham – another player linked with a move away – starting ahead of him in midfield.
Youngster Mikey Johnston starts again having been handed a similar role last week, with Scott Sinclair on the opposite flank and Leigh Griffiths leading the attack for the Bhoys.
Moussa Dembele isn’t in the squad at all today, with questions still lingering over the Frenchman’s future after a bid from Lyon ahead of Friday’s European transfer deadline.
Tom Rogic is on the bench though, alongside Scott Bain, Emilio Izaguirre, Cristian Gamboa, Jonny Hayes, Ryan Christie and James Forrest.
