Two weeks after opting out of the Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens Dedryck Boyata makes his first Celtic appearance of the season.

The defender has been at the centre of intense transfer speculation with Celtic turning down a £9m offer from Fulham on the eve of the English transfer window closing.

Boyata is reunited in the centre of defence with Kris Ajer with Mikael Lustig starting at right-back ahead of Cristian Gamboa. In attack Leigh Griffiths teams up with Moussa Dembele.

After losing to Hearts at Tynecastle Celtic need to get back to winning ways with Hamilton arriving on the back of a 1-0 derby win over Motherwell.

Hendry and Odsonne Edouard are expected to be available for Thursday’s return match against Suduva with Celtic expected to be involved in transfer business before Friday’s deadline.

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Ajer, Tierney; Forrest, McGregor, Brown; Rogic; Dembele, Griffiths
