Hatem Abd Elhamed makes his Celtic debut today, starting at right-back in the SPFL opener at home to St Johnstone.
Celtic spent £1.6m to bring in the defender from Hapoel Be’er Sheva who takes the place of Mikael Lustig who left the club after eight years during the close season.
With Jozo Simunovic and Christopher Jullien both suspended Lennon has had to recast his defence with Kris Ajer and Nir Bitton reunited.
The hoops have heard all the usual pre-season noise from Ibrox but reality gets underway at 3pm today as they set out to win the title for the ninth successive season.
After today’s match attention will return to Europe with the hoops heading to Romania to face Cluj on Wednesday.
Lennon is likely to go into those matches with the same squad as today with transfer activity likely to resume on Thursday evening once the English window closes
