Brendan Rodgers has made six changes to the Celtic side that lost in Athens for today’s Betfred Cup tie with Partick Thistle.
The defence is unrecognisable with Jck Hendry the only survivor playing in front of Scott Bain with Emilio Izaguirre both making their first appearances of the season.
A win without any drama is required from the hoops today as they adjust to a season that won’t include Champions League football for the first time in three years.
Booking a place in the last eight of the Betfred Cup is the minimum requirement ahead of two home matches in the SPFL and a Europa League play-off against Suduva.
The last ten days have been the most dramatic of Brendan Rodgers’ time at the club with the hoops arriving at Firhill on the back of successive defeats.
CELTIC: Bain; Gamboa, Hendry, Ajer, Izaguirre; Brown, Ntcham; Johnston, Rogic, Sinclair; Griffiths
SUBS: Gordon, Simunovic, Dembele, Hayes, Lustig, McGregor, Forrest
