Ross County v Celtic

Brendan Rodgers has pulled a surprise by naming an unchanged team for the third match running.

The hoops beat St Johnstone 4-0 in their last outing with the Irishman picking the same staring XI for the trip to Ross County.

Patrick Roberts has recovered from his hamstring injury but he’ll watch from the stand with Erik Sviatchenko while Jozo Simunovic earns a place on the bench.

Rodgers has regularly made dramatic changes to his side with an emphasis towards European matches.

Although Wednesday’s match against Paris Saint Germain is largely academic the Celtic boss will be keen for his side to improve on their ‘u-12 display’ from the opening match in the group.

The visit to the French capital is followed by a trip to Hampden for the first cup final of the season and the chance to put down a marker towards a second successive treble.

Tom Rogic only returned from international duty on Friday morning but will be with the squad for the PSG match.

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

SUBS: De Vries, Simunovic, Griffiths, Hayes, Ntcham, Edouard, Kouassi.
