Brendan Rodgers has named the same time that started last week at home to Rosenborg for tonight’s second leg in Norway.

Cristian Gamboa keeps his place in the side at right-back despite Mikael Lustig being back in the squad with the youthful duo of Kris Ajer and Jack Hendry together in the centre of defence.

Last week’s home leg put Celtic in the driving seat thanks to a 3-1 victory despite losing the first goal.

The French Connection of Olivier Ntcham and Odsonne Edouard got on the score-sheet with Rosenborg fortune to go home having only lost three goals.

The winners from this round will host AEK Athens next week with the Greek domestic season not starting until August 25.

Cork City will be waiting for the losers in a Europa League play-off with the hoops in a strong position to repeat last season’s encounter when they progressed on a 1-0 aggregate.

CELTIC: Gordon; Gamboa, Hendry, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, McGregor, Sinclair; Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Christie, Johnston, Hayes, Rogic, Lustig, Kouassi
