Ewan Henderson retains his place in the Celtic side to face Hearts tonight with Oliver Burke coming in to replace Odsonne Edouard in attack.

Scott Brown returns from suspension to team up with Nir Bitton in the centre of midfield with Henderson pushed forward into the ‘Christie’ role behind Burke.

Since the final whistle blew on Sunday’s match against Motherwell things have certainly changed around Celtic Park.

The sportsmanship controversy over Motherwell’s goal was overtaken by Brendan Rodgers bailing out for Leicester with Neil Lennon brought in as caretaker.

Lennon was introduced with John Kennedy this morning and admitted that he will be leaning on the new assistant for guidance through today’s match.

CELTIC: Bain; Toljan, Ajer, Boyata, Tierney; Brown, Bitton; Forrest, Henderson, Sinclair; Burke

SUBS: Gordon, Hendry, Lustig, Hayes, Weah, Edouard, Johnston
