Neil Lennon has made two changes to the Celtic side that beat Aberdeen in midweek with Scott Brown and Tom Rogic back in the starting XI.

Ismaila Soro and Albian Ajeti drop down to the bench where they are joined by Conor Hazard who replaces Vasilis Barkas as back up goalkeeper.

Celtic go into the match on the back of five successive wins while County have slipped to bottom place after losing at home to Dundee United a fortnight ago then having their game against Hibs last week postponed.

Back in September Shane Duffy made a scoring debut as Celtic won 5-0 but the circumstances tonight are very different with the title race virtually over.

County have been to Celtic Park inbetween times, winning 2-0 in a Betfred Cup tie then losing by that scoreline when they returned in December.

Late on this afternoon Bobby Madden was stood down as match referee, replaced by fourth official David Munro who recently issued Kemar Roofe with a yellow card for a dangerous attack on Murrat Davidson.

CELTIC: Bain; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer Taylor; Christie, Brown, Turnbull, McGregor; Rogic, Edouard

SUBS: Hazard, Griffiths, Ajeti, Klimala, Soro, Elyounoussi, Henderson, Ralston, Laxalt
