Neil Lennon has opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation to face Copenhagen tonight with the main change being a starting place for Moi Elyounoussi ahead of Leigh Griffiths, in defence Jozo Simunovic is selected ahead of Jeremie Frimpong with Kris Ajer likely to start at right-back.

The formation is similar to the set up in the first leg with the insurance policy of having Griffiths on the bench if a goal is needed.

Greg Taylor and Leigh Griffiths missed the first leg last week with Scott Brown having to be substituted after 73 minutes.

Copenhagen go into tonight’s match with the impressive record of 28 UEFA matches in which they haven’t conceded more than one goal.

Celtic could have been a few goals in front by half-time last week but the second half display from the Danes is a warning of what tonight’s visitors are capable of.

CELTIC: Forster; Ajer, Jullien, Simunovic, Taylor; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Rogic, Elyounoussi; Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Bitton,Bayo, Bolingoli, Frimpong, Griffiths, Hayes
