Brendan Rodgers has named the same side that beat Alashkert last week in Armenia for tonight’s return match.

Strikers Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard will team up again in the strike partnership that is exciting the Celtic support as Brendan Rodgers tinkers away from last season’s successful 4-2-3-1 system.

On the bench Mikey Johnston, the subject of recent transfer speculation, comes in for the injured Lewis Morgan.

With a 3-0 win secured from last week’s first leg in Armenia Rodgers will be looking for his squad to kick on in terms of fitness.

There is no friendly match this weekend which means that the next action will be the second round qualifier against Valur or Rosenborg next week.

The second leg of that tie takes place in Norway tonight with Valur leading from the first leg, the winners will visit Celtic Park next week.

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

SUBS; Bain, Sinclair, Christie, Allan, Ralston, Johnston, Kouassi
