Olivier Ntcham makes his first appearance in a month today in Celtic’s visit to Hamilton.

The midfielder replaces Tom Rogic with Ryan Christie pushed into a more advanced role, Leigh Griffiths is named as a substitute but there is no place for Scott Brown in the matchday squad.

It’s 13 days since the hoops drew 0-0 at Livingston with players scattered across the globe on international duty with James Forrest grabbing most of the headlines.

Five goals in two matches kept alive Scotland’s Nations League hopes and continued the winger’s rich run of form.

With Ryan Christie and Callum McGregor critical to the success of Alex McLeish’s side all eyes will be on the Scotland trio in today’s match.

Earlier in the season it took a goal from Dedryck Boyata to separate the sides when Accies visited Celtic Park.

Don Robertson refereed that match and will also be in charge for today’s clash.

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Benkovic, Tierney; Ntcham, McGregor; Dorrest, Christie, Sinclair; Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Izaguirre, Hendry, Griffiths, Morgan, Hayes, Mulumbu
