Odsonne Edouard will start for Celtic away to Hibs with Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths left on the bench.

The on loan striker scored a hat-trick last Saturday against Motherwell and replaces Dembele with Olivier Ntcham coming in for Stuart Armstrong in the only changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Anderlecht.

Celtic have already played Hibs twice this season with both of those matches falling after Champions League matches.

In September a late Callum McGregor goal earned Celtic a point in a 2-2 home draw although the hoops were denied a clear penalty by Willie Collum when Efe Ambrose pulled back Scott Sinclair as he prepared to shoot at goal.

At Hampden in October it took a couple of goals from substitute Moussa Dembele to see off Hibs in the semi-final of the Betfred Cup with a 4-2 win.

After today’s match Celtic are back in action at home to Hamilton on Wednesday followed by a return to Edinburgh next Sunday and a clash with Hearts.

CELTIC: Gordon, Lustig, Simunovic, Boyata, Tierney, Brown, Ntcham, Forrest, McGregor, Sinclair, Edouard

SUBS: De Vries, Ajer, Bitton, Armstrong, Hayes, Griffiths, Dembele
