Celtic take on Valencia in the Europa League tonight…

Celtic starting XI: Bain; Toljan, Boyata, Simunovic, Izaguirre; Brown, McGregor, Christie; Forrest, Sinclair, Burke.

Celtic substitutes: Gordon, Hayes, Edouard, Lustig, Weah, Ajer, Johnston.

Celtic are back in European action tonight as they look to take their superb recent domestic form into their game with Spanish side Valencia.

Scott Bain again starts in goal ahead of veteran Craig Gordon, with a back four of Jeremy Toljan, Dedryck Boyata, Jozo Simunovic and Emilio Izaguirre ahead of him.

Captain Scott Brown once again starts in holding midfield, and will be aided by Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie in the two more advanced midfield positions.

James Forrest and Scott Sinclair start out wide, with Oliver Burke given the nod up front as he continues to feature more as a striker under Brendan Rodgers rather than as a winger.

That means that Timothy Weah is only on the bench, whilst Vakoun Issouf Bayo has not been registered for European action with Celtic following his January arrival.

Forward Weah is joined by fellow substitutes Gordon, Jonny Hayes, Odsonne Edouard, Mikael Lustig, Kristoffer Ajer and Mikey Johnston.
