Celtic starting XI: Bain; Frimpong, Jullien, Ajer, Taylor; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Christie, Elyounoussi; Edouard.

Celtic substitutes: Barkas, Bitton, Klimala, Soro, Rogic, Ntcham, Bolingoli, Elhamed, Dembele.

Celtic kick off the new season with a home clash against Hamilton Academical, and will be looking to get off to a winning start.

Neil Lennon has gone with Scott Bain in goal, as new signing Vasilis Barkas is only on the bench having spent just a few days in Glasgow.

Jeremie Frimpong, Christopher Jullien, Kristoffer Ajer and Greg Taylor line up as the back four, with Lennon moving away from the 3-5-2 he used for parts of last season.

Scott Brown and Callum McGregor start in midfield, with Ryan Christie operating as the number 10 behind Odsonne Edouard.

James Forrest and Mohamed Elyounoussi feature out wide, meaning Celtic have a very dangerous set of attackers on the pitch.

Patryk Klimala is only on the bench despite a strong pre-season, and he joins Barkas, Nir Bitton, Ismaila Soro, Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham, Boli Bolingoli, Hatem Abd Elhamed and Karamoko Dembele.
