Kieran Tierney and James Forrest are out of the Glasgow derby with Mikey Johnston and Oli Burke starting at Ibrox.

The fitness of Tierney has been a concern for some time but other than not being pictured training on Friday there has been no hint of Player of the Year Forrest missing the match.After clinching the title last Saturday by winning 3-0 at Aberdeen Celtic go into the derby clash with the pressure off.

The Scottish Cup Final against Hearts on May 25 is of far greater significance although a win at Ibrox would be a very useful confidence boost.

Ensuring that he has the best possible team available for Hampden is Lennon’s priority but with an unbeaten record since coming in as caretaker in February the Irishman will be going all out for a win today.

CELTIC: Bain; Lustig, Ajer, Simunovic, Hayes; Johnstone, McGregor, Brown, Rogic, ; Burke, Edouard

SUBS: De Vries, Bitton, Toljan, Sinclair, Benkovic, Ralston, Ntcham
