Jeremie Frimpong and Olivier Ntcham come into the Celtic side to face Dundee United today as Neil Lennenon switches to what appears to be a 3-5-2 formation.

Hatem Abd Elhamed and James Forrest drop out with Frimpong likely to play at right wing-back, Ntcham in a very strong midfield with Moi Elyounoussi playing close to Odsonne Edouard in attack.

On the bench Kerr McInroy, Cameron Harper and Ismaila Soro are included for the first time with no place for Karamoko Dembele or Tom Rogic.

United have spent the last three seasons in the Championship but have returned to the top flight in impressive style with seven points from their first four matches.

Wins away to Ross County and Motherwell have been matched in with a 1-1 home draw against St Johnstone and a 1-0 defeat from Hibs.

Former Celtic coach Stevie Frail will be on the bench for United as assistant to new boss Micky Mellon

CELTIC: Barkas; Jullien, Bitton, Taylor; Frimpong, Brown, Ntcham, McGregor. Christie; Elyounoussi Edouard

SUBS: Bain, Ajeti, Klimala, Soro, Ajer, Elhamed, Forrest, Harper, McInroy
