Scott Bain, Tom Rogic and Mikey Johnston are in the Celtic side to face Dundee today with Ryan Christie named as a substitute.
Craig Gordon, Odsonne Edouard and Scott Brown drop out as Brendan Rodgers rotates his squad a little during the hectic December schedule.
Rogic’s return is a big boost as it the sight of Christie who was stretchered off during the Europa League tie against RB Salzburg but ten days later has completed recovery to be on the bench today.
His introduction to the team in autumn coincided with Celtic’s best run of form which included a 5-0 win away to Dundee.
With trips to Pittodrie and Ibrox coming up over the next week the return of Christie and Rogic is a timely boost with Celtic back at the top of the table.
Full points today will ensure that Celtic celebrate Christmas in first place with Brendan Rodgers looking to seriously strengthen his squad during the January transfer window.
CELTIC: Bain; Ralston, Benkovic, Simunovic, Izaguirre; Ntcham, McGregor; Forrest, Rogic, Sinclair; Johnston
SUBS: Gordon, Brown, Gamboa, Hayes, Christie, Morgan, Ajer
