Brendan Rodgers has made nine changes to the Celtic side to face Partick Thistle tonight.
Craig Gordon and Kieran Tierney are the only survivors from the side that beat Kilmarnock in mdweek with Leigh Griffiths left on the bench to allow James Forrest to start in attack.
Jonny Hayes will start in Forrest’s position on the right flank as the hoops look to take their unbeaten domestic run to 51 matches.
Despite the impression that the ‘shadow’ side made against Kilmarnock in midweek Rodgers was always going to make big changes for the Firhill clash.
Three matches within a week has tested the strength of the squad but now the focus is on the matches against Astana.
Reaching the group phase of the Champions League will give the whole club a massive boost and should convince Manchester City that a return for Patrick Roberts will be in everyone’s interests.
CELTIC: Gordon, Lustig, Simunovic, Bitton, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Hayes, McGregor, Sinclair; Forrest
SUBS: De Vries, Ralston, Ajer, Rogic, Armstrong, Benju, Griffiths
