With nine matches to be completed before the new year Brendan Rodgers will be delving deeply into his squad to navigate his way through the packed calendar.

As he showed with the recent trip to Ross County the Celtic boss isn’t afraid to make changes with eight players brought in for that match and full points picked up.

Keeping players match fit is usually a big obstacle when a squad is rotated but so far Rodgers seems to have managed to keep his side winning regardless of changes.

Although the game at Manchester City is largely of academic interest only there’s little doubt that Celtic will be be at full strength.

Champions League matches don’t come along too often with Rodgers certain to be looking closely at how his players handle the occasion.

Double headers against Hamilton and Partick Thistle will give ‘fringe’ players the opportunity to shine and prove to their manager that they have a future with the January transfer window about to open up.

Will anyone take their opportunity to come in and make a place their own in the way that James Forrest has?
