Brendan Rodgers has named the same team for the third match running as Celtic take on RB Leipzig in the Europa League.

There wasn’t many big decisions for the hoops boss to make with Youssouf Mulumbu named among the substitutes.

After losing 2-0 away to Leipzig a fortnight ago Celtic need to reverse that result to stand a realistic chance of reaching the last 16.

Tom Rogic and James Forrest missed that match with Filip Benkovic watching from the substitutes bench.

With all three in the starting XI Rodgers will be hoping for a result that gives Celtic a chance of prolonging their involvement in Europe.

In the other match RB Salzburg will be looking to confirm their qualification with a win away from home against Rosenborg.

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Benkovic, Tierney; McGregor, Christie; Forrest, Rogic, Sinclair; Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Ajer, Morgan, Hayes, Mulumbu, Hendry, Ralston
