Brendan Rodgers has gone with two strikers for the final match of Celtic’s pre-season trip to Austria when they take on Sparta Prague.

Odsonne Edouard is joined in attack by Moussa Dembele with the former Fulham man making his first appearance of the season.

It looks like Celtic will play a standard 4-4-2 formation with James Forrest and Callum McGregor providing the width, either side of Scott Brown and Olivier Ntcham.

Despite transfer speculation Kieran Tierney plays at left-back with Jozo Simunovic playing alongside Kris Ajer while Jack Hendry plays at right-back. Today’s match kicks off at 4.30pm CPT.

Earlier today Mikey Johnston and Scott Sinclair scored in the 2-1 win over BW Linz as Rodgers gave players a full 90 minutes.

Celtic fly back from Austria tonight with their next action on Saturday away to Shamrock Rovers before flying out to Armenia to face Alashkert on Tuesday.

CELTIC: Gordon; Hendry, Ajer, Simunovic, Tierney; Forrest, Brown, Ntcham, McGregor; Dembele, Edouard
