Greg Taylor comes back into the Celtic side to face Herts tonight leaving Moi Elyounoussi and Ryan Christie on the bench.

Celtic are again going 3-5-2 with the same side that beat Motherwell last week selected to start with Taylor wide on the left.

Despite starting the game against Clyde Patryk Klimala drops out of the 17 man squad with Vakoun Bayo named n a strong bench that also includes Tom Rogic.

Neil Lennon made six changes for the Scottish Cup tie against Clyde on Sunday but has returned to his A-Team for tonight’s clash.

The hoops won 2-0 at Tynecastle in December and enjoyed a 3-1 win over the Jambos at Celtic Park in August. Hearts have won only three SPFL matches this season with Saturday’s home match effectively a six pointer for the Edinburgh side.

With six consecutive wins in 2020 Lennon will be looking for more of the same to at least maintain their seven point advantage at the top of the SPFL Premiership.

CELTIC: Forster: Simunovic, Jullien, Ajer; Forrest, Brown, Ntcham, McGregor, Taylor; Griffiths, Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Bauer, Hayes, Rogic, Christie, Elyounoussi, Bayo

Hearts: Pereira, Smith, Souttar, Clare, Walker, Naismith, Garuccio, McDonald, Halkett, Boyce, Irving.

Subs: Zlamal, Washington, Ikpeazu, Damour, Moore, Langer, Avidjaj.
