Neil Lennon has named an unchanged team for the visit of Hamilton- the first time that he has given the starting XI the ‘same again’ treatment.

Scott Bain continues in goal with the hoops boss looking for Leigh Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard to continue their scoring form from midweek.

Celtic will be looking to make it back-to-back wins following the midweek win over Hamilton Accies. On the same night St Mirren were winning 5-1 away to Dundee United to get over their Betfred Cup defeat to Livingston at Hampden.

In their only meeting so far this season Celtic lost an early goal but came back to win 2-1 in Paisley in September with James Forrest and Shane Duffy the goalscorers.

The win over Hamilton was Celtic’s first of 2021 with Lennon hoping that the team can go on a winning run to deflect away from a grim season that saw the title challenge almost over two days in to the new year.

CELTIC: Bain; Ajer, Duffy, Bitton, Taylor; Turnbull, Soro, McGregor, Elyounoussi; Griffiths, Edouard

SUBS: Barkas, Ajeti, Klimala, Christie, Rogic, Johnston, Ralston, Welsh, Laxalt
