Celtic are back in European action tonight as they take on Zenit Saint Petersburg at Celtic Park…

Celtic starting line-up: De Vries; Lustig, Simunovic, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham, Kouassi; McGregor, Forrest, Dembele.

Celtic substitutes: Bain, Hendry, Miller, Rogic, Sinclair, Edouard, Musonda.

The Bhoys start their Europa League campaign this evening having finished third in their Champions League group earlier this season, but face a tough task tonight.

Brendan Rodgers’ men take on Roberto Mancini’s Zenit Saint Petersburg side at Celtic Park, and will be hoping to cause something of an upset against the Russian side this evening.

Rodgers has gone with Dorus de Vries in goal ahead of new signing Scott Bain, with Mikael Lustig, Jozo Simunovic, Kristoffer Ajer and Kieran Tierney across the back four tonight.

Scott Brown is joined by Olivier Ntcham and Eboue Kouassi in midfield, whilst Callum McGregor and James Forrest will support striker Moussa Dembele in the final third.

Bain is named on the bench, alongside fellow new signing Jack Hendry, after both players arrived from Dundee on deadline day at the end of last month.

Calvin Miller, Tom Rogic, Scott Sinclair, Odsonne Edouard and new signing Charly Musonda are also named as substitutes this evening.
