John Kennedy has made two changes to the Celtic side that drew at Aberdeen with Kris Ajer and James Forrest in the starting XI.

Nir Bitton and Ryan Christie drop onto the bench with Celtic starting in a 4-2-3-1 formation led by Odsonne Edouard. Leigh Griffiths has had to settle for a place on the bench where he is joined by Mikey Johnston and Albian Ajeri with the Young Team of Karamoko Dembele, Dane Murray and Adam Montgomery missing out.

It is 10 days since Celtic’s last match, a 1-1 draw at Aberdeen secured by a last gasp header from substitute Griffiths. Steven Gerrard’s side were in action last weekend, suffering the hurt of a home Scottish Cup defeat from St Johnstone as Callum Davidson’s side won in a penalty shoot out to reach the semi-finals.

Celtic have another 10-day break after today’s match before their final home match when St Johnstone make another Glasgow visit.

CELTIC: Bain; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer; Taylor; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Turnbull, Elyounoussi; Edouard

SUBS: Barkas, Bitton, Griffiths, Ajeti, Soro, Christie, Johnston, Laxalt, Ralston
