Neil Lennon has made one change to the Celtic side that beat Hearts with Boli Bolingoli replacing Jonny Hayes for the visit of Hearts.

On the bench Mikey Johnston makes an appearance but James Forrest continues on the left with the goalscorers against Hearts- Olivier Ntcham and Ryan Christie- on his inside.

Wednesday’s victory over Hearts made it nine SPFL Premiership wins on the bounce for Neil Lennon’s side as they continued to set the pace.

That extra fixture is bound to have had an impact on the fitness of the players who are completing their third match in seven days.

Earlier in the season Celtic turned in their best 45 minutes of the season to go 4-0 up at Pittodrie but since then Derek McInnes’ side have recovered to reclaim third place in the table.

Last week the Dons beat Hamilton 1-0 at home but the previous week they crashed to a 3-0 defeat away to Hibs.

CELTIC: Forster; Frimpong, Ajer, Jullien, Bolingoli; McGregor, Brown; Christie, Ntcham, Forrest; Edouard,

SUBS: Gordon, Taylor, Bitton, Rogic, Johnston, Bayo, Griffiths
