Brendan Rodgers won’t be swayed by fan opinion when he names his side to face Astana tonight.

The biggest worry for supporters is in central defence where Nir Bitton will line up alongside Jozo Simunovic.

Friday’s win over Partick Thistle included a few nervy moments at the back prompting concerns about whether Bitton was the best option in that role.

In an online poll conducted by Video Celts over who should play at the back Bitton came out bottom of the pile with a vote of -38, Anthony Ralston secured a score of 39 with Kristoffer Ajer the runaway winner with a score of 180.

While by no means comprehensive the vote indicates the concerns that fans have in central defence or just an overall worry about tonight’s match.

Ajer has only played two competitive games fir Celtic as a central defender but has already convinced a section of the support that he can make the position his own.

The young Norwegian is likely to have to wait his turn till Saturday when he is likely to start away to Kilmarnock with Simunovic rested.
