Charly Musonda will start from the bench tonight as Celtic take on Hearts.

Brendan Rodgers has pulled a number of surprises in his starting XI which features Odsonne Edouard and Moussa Dembele.

The Celtic boss has picked a back three with Kieran Tierney pushed into midfield in place of Scot Sinclair with Eboue Kouassi making a rare start.

Since the 4-0 defeat at Tynecastle Celtic have picked up 16 points out of 18 with the only goal lost coming from the penalty spot last week against Partick Thistle.

Kris Ajer has played in every match and has now staked his claim for a regular place with Marvin Compper expected to return to the side.

Since their much celebrated win over Celtic Hearts have only lost one goal with that strike coming from Motherwell at the weekend to end a run of eight matches without conceding a goal.

A win tonight would put Celtic 14 points ahead of Aberdeen with the Dons visiting bottom of the table Ross County tomorrow night.

CELTIC Devries; Ajer, Siminovic, Boyata; Forrest, Brown, Ntcham, Kouassi, Tierney; Edouard, Dembele
