Jeremy Toljan and Ewan Henderson are back in the Celtic side to face Aberdeen today with Mikael Lustig and Odsonne Edouard dropping out of the team that beat Hibs in the Scottish Cup.

Both players drop onto the bench where they are joined by Dorus De Vries who hasn’t played a first tgeam match in 12 months.

With the club from Ibrox drawing 1-1 away to Hibs last night a home win today will lift Celtic 10 points clear at the top of the SPFL with nine matches left to play.

Since returning from their winter break in Dubai Celtic have a 100% domestic record which survived Brendan Rodgers making an overnight flit to join Leicester City.

Lennon takes charge for the first time in almost five years against an Aberdeen team that has won each of their last seven away matches.

That run started after losing the Betfred Cup Final to Celtic in December with the hoops beating Derek McInnes’ side three times this season, all by a single goal.

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

SUBS: De Vries, Hayes, Lustig, Edouard, Johnston, Weah
