Brendan Rodgers will start with close to his first choice XI for today’s friendly with Rapid Vienna.

There are just two changes in today’s team from the side that started the Scottish Cup Final against Aberdeen.

Erik Sviatchenko comes in for Jozo Simunovic with James Forrest replacing Patrick Roberts on the right flank.

It’s the second of four pre-season matches before Celtic play in their second round Champions League qualifier against Linfield or La Fiorita.

Moussa Dembele missed the 1-0 win over BW Linz but is listed as a substitute while Tom Rogic has returned from international duty at the Confederations Cup in Russia and is also listed as a substitute.

Celtic face Slavia Prague on Wednesday before returning to Glasgow then taking on Shamrock Rovers next Saturday in Dublin.

CELTIC (4-1-2-3) Gordon; Lustig, Sviatchenko, Boyata, Tierney; Brown, Armstrong, McGregor; Forrest, Griffiths, Sinclair.
Subs: Hazard, Ralston, Simunonvic, Izaguirre, Miller, Hayes, Bitton, Henderdson, Rogic, Mackay-Steven, Dembele, Aitchison, McCart, Doohan.
