John Kennedy has made two changes to the Celtic side that beat St Johnstone in midweek for today’s final match of the season away to Hibs.

Callum McGregor comes back from suspension to replace James Forrest with Greg Taylor a straight switch for Adam Montgomery. Ryan Christie will take Forrest’s place on the right with Leigh Griffiths and Karamoko Dembele named among the substitutes.

Earlier this season Celtic required two goals in the last 10 minutes to grab a draw at Easter Road as the wheels came off the defence of the Premiership title.

Hibs returned the compliment in January when they scored late on to earn a point after falling behind to a late David Turnbull free kick with Gavin Strachan in charge of Celtic from the dug-out.

Over the last week Hibs have beaten Dundee United to reach the final of the Scottish Cup and won away to Aberdeen to secure third place in the Premiership table.

CELTIC: Barkas; Kenny, Welsh, Ajer, Taylor; McGregor, Brown; Christie, Turnbull, Elyounoussi; Edouard

SUBS: Hazard, Griffiths, Ajeti, Soro, Murray, Forrest, Montgomery, Ralston, Karamoko
