Celtic v UMF Stjarnan - UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round First LegEfe Ambrose and Callum McGregor are in Ronny Deila’s starting XI to face Hearts today.

Charlie Mulgrew and Tom Rogic miss out as the Celtic boss makes two changes to the side that started last Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Ross County.

Full points will put Celtic 12 ahead of Aberdeen, with the Dons being almost 40 goals behind it would take the most incredible turn around to prevent Celtic from claiming a fifth successive league flag.

ooking ahead to a potential title win Deila said: “I would feel so happy. The most important thing is to be champions of Scotland if you can do that then you can win other things. This is a very big game and we are in a very good position. We know it will be a great atmosphere tomorrow and nothing would please me more if we can do it then.

You can see in training that a good game is coming and there is more to come as well. We want to do it tomorrow, and if we win it will take a big disaster for us not to win it as the goal difference is very good for us.

It’s always emotional when you achieve something and that’s what drives you all the time. The road to it is unbelievably fun but to do it and get over the line is a very emotional time for everybody and that’s what we are striving for.”

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Ambrose, Sviatchenko, Tierney; Brown, Bitton; Roberts, McGregor, Kazim Richards; Griffiths,

SUBS: Bailly, Rogic, Commons, Mackay-Steven, Armstrong, Izaguirre, Janko
