Neil Lennon has made just two changes to the Celtic side that lost to Sparta Prague for the SPFL clash with Motherwell.

Shane Duffy and Odsonne Edouard drop to the bench with Kris Ajer and Albian Ajeti in the starting XI. Scott Bain and Scott Brown retain their places with the captain starting his third match in eight days.

Thursday’s defeat from Sparta Prague brought a mountain of criticism with every aspect of the squad and management under attack.

After the match Lennon spoke out about needing a culture change but with less than three days between match the only thing that matters today is getting a win over Motherwell ahead of an international break.

The two sides met at Celtic Park in August with Celtic enjoying a comfortable 3-0 win however Motherwell go into today’s match on the back of four wins in their last five SPFL matches.

CELTIC: Bain; Fimpong, Ajer, Bitton; Laxalt; Brown, McGregor; Christie, Rogic, Elyounoussu; Ajeti

SUBS: Barkas, Taylor, Duffy, Griffiths, Klimala, Turnbull, Ntcham, Edouard, Elhamed
