Neil Lennon has made three changes to the Celtic side that started in Riga with all of the substitutes starting against Hibs.
James Forrest is injured with Odsonne Edouard and Olivier Ntcham on the bench allowing former Basel team-mates Moi Elyounoussi and Albian Ajeti to start the match.
Ajeti is the only recognised striker but could be joined up front by Elyounoussi or Ryan Christie, Leigh Griffiths is among the substitutes for the first time this season.
After Thursday night’s trip to Latvia Lennon will be hoping that his side is fresh and ready to go again against opponents who’ve had a full week to prepare and to watch Celtic against Riga.
Hibs come to Celtic Park with a record of four wins out of four on the road although they have drawn twice and lost at home to Aberdeen,
Jack Ross has established the club as the third force in less than a year in charge but today’s match will be a big test for both clubs with just one more round of fixtures before the October international break.
