Marvin Compper is in the starting line up for Celtic against Vorwarts with Brendan Rodgers habding debuts to Stephen Welsh, Kerr McInroy and Lewis Morgan.

Celtic paid RB Leipzig £1m for Compper in January but after picking up an injury during the winter trip to Dubai he only made one top team appearance.

Welsh makes his first top team appearance at right back, McInroy teams up with fellow Fifer Brown in central midfield while former St Mirren winger Morgan starts on the right wing ahead of Welsh.

With just 13 days to go until the Champions League qualifier away to Alashkert Rodgers will use today’s match to give his squad some match sharpness.

Celtic have two more games to play in Austria plus a friendly against Shamrock Rovers before they head to Georgia.

Going on previous seasons Rodgers is likely to make 10 or 11 changes at half time to ensure that as many players as possible get game time.

Elsewhere tonight a very youthful Celtic XI will play a friendly against Lowland League side East Kilbride with that match kicking off at 7pm.

CELTIC: Bain; Welsh, Simunovic, Compper, Miller; Brown, McInroy; Morgan, Christie, Sinclair, Griffiths.
