Does Neil Lennon have a first XI?
Every week the Celtic boss has been without a handful of players with defence the greatest problem area with Kelvin Wilson, Emilio Izaguirre, Mark Wilson and now Daniel Majstorovic suffering long term injuries while Glenn Loovens, Adam Matthews and Thomas Rogne have all had spells on the sidelines.
Should everyone ever be fit there are easily two back fours available with youth team defenders Marcus Fraser and Joe Chalmers getting closer game by game.
Midfield is equally competitive with Victor Wanyama emerging as a must-pick despite the centre of the park having more competition than any other area of the team. James Forrest is certain of his place at the moment but with Scott Brown, Biram Kayal, Ki Sung Yeung and Joe Ledley battling for places Lennon isn’t short of options as well as the re-emergence of Georgios Samaras to play wide left.

In attack Gary Hooeper and Gary Hooper are most supporters preferred option with Mohamed Bangura yet to make an impact. In the bigger matches Lennon has gone with one striker which doesn’t seem to suit Hooper or Stokes as much as playing alongside each other.
Assuming that everyone is fit I’d go with a back four of Matthews, Wilson, Mulgrew and Izaguirre with Forrest, Wanyama, Kayal and Ledley across the midfield supporting Hooper and Stokes.
