Boli Bolingoli and Christopher Jullien are off the bench and into the Celtic side to play Dunfermline today.

Neil Lennon makes five changes to the side that lost to Cluj on Tuesday night with Craig Gordon, Leigh Griffiths and Nir Bitton also coming in with Callum McGregor returned to central midfield and given the captaincy.

After the defeat from Cluj on Tuesday only a resounding win will allow the club to move on a little from the Champions League post-mortem.

The action returns to Europe on Thursday when AIK visit Celtic Park in a play-off tie for the Europa League with the Swedish side on form and at the top of this season’s table.

Dunfermline reached the last 16 of the Betfred Cup after topping a group that consisted of St Mirren, Albion Rovers, Edinburgh City and East Kilbride, in their opening Championship matches they drew at home to Dundee and away to Queen of the South.

CELTIC: Gordon; Elhamed, Jullien, Ajer, Bolingoli; Bitton, McGregor (c); Johnston, Christie, Edouard; Griffiths
