Mikael Lustig makes a surprise return to first team action for tonight’s Scottish Cup tie with Hibs.

The Swede has been out of favour since Jeremy Toljan arrived on loan from Borussia Dortmund but is back in the starting XI to face Hibs alongside Odsonne Edouard who replaces Ewan Henderson.

After letting John Kennedy take control of the preparations for the win over Hearts Lennon has been on the training ground preparing Celtic for the clash with his old club.

Celtic have lost in their last two visits to Easter Road with Lennon in charge of the Edinburgh side when they beat the hoops 2-0 in December.

Under Paul Heckingbottom Hibs have won all three matches going into tonight’s match and are looking like taking sixth place after winning 2-1 at St Johnstone in midweek.

CELTIC: Bain; Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Bitton; Forrest, Burke, Edouard, Sinclair

SUBS: Gordon, Toljan, Hayes, Henderson, Weah, Johnston, Hendry
