Scott Sinclair is missing from the Celtic side to face Aberdeen tonight at Pittodrie while Moussa Dembele comes in for Leigh Griffiths.

With a heavy fixture list to be negotiated Brendan Rodgers has freshened his side up with James Forrest and Tom Rogic also earning starting places.

Since Aberdeen last played, away to Hibs on October 14 Celtic have been in action away to Bayern Munich and against Hibs in the semi-final of the Betfred Cup semi-final.

A big blow for the Dons is the non-availability of Ryan Christie who has been in outstanding form this season.

After a minor wobble where they went three games without a win, including a Betfred Cup defeat at Motherwell, Derek McInnes’ side have bounced back to win three in a row without losing a goal.

Former Celt Gary Mackay-Steven was the matchwinner for Aberdeen away to Hibs with his first goal since moving north.

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Bitton, Boyata, Tierney; Brown Armstrong; Forrest, Rogic , McGregor; Dembele

SUBS: De Vries, Ajer, Ntcham, Hayes, Roberts, Sinclair
