Christopher Julien makes his competitive debut for Celtic away to Nomme Kalju with Neil Lennon leaving some of his big hitters on the bench.
The former Toulouse defender comes into a back three alongside Jozo Simunovic and Nir Bitton with Tony Ralston and Boli Bolingoli named as wingbacks.
James Forrest and Callum McGregor were left at home from the trip leaving both players fresh for Saturday’s SPFL opener at home to St Johnstone, in defence Jozo Simunovic and Jullien will both miss that match due to suspensions.
With a 5-0 lead from the first leg tonight’s tie should be a formality with events in Israel of equal interest where Maccabi Tel Aviv host Cluj. The Romanian side take a 1-0 lead into tonight’s match, which is played at the same time as Celtic are in action, with the winners of the tie hosting the hoops next week.
CELTIC: Gordon; Jullien, Simunovic, Bitton; Ralston, Brown, Ntcham, Johnston, Bolingoli; Griffiths, Morgan
SUBS: Bain, Sinclair, Hayes, Christie, Edouard, Ajer, Shved.
