Team News: Ange makes three changes- Kyogo on the bench with Forrest and McCarthy

Ange Postecoglou has made three changes to the Celtic side that beat Hibs for today’s home match against Livingston.

Tom Rogic, Mikey Johnston and Kyogo Furuhashi drop out with Nir Bitton, Liel Abada and Giorgos Giakoumakis coming into the side. James Forrest and James McCarthy are named among the substitutes.

The omission of Kyogo is perhaps the biggest surprise but after starting the last six matches he is given a breather with Giakoumakis showing enough to start his second match since his August transfer.

A win today would take Celtic into top spot in the Premiership after starting the month in sixth place, six points behind Steven Gerrard’s team.

Bobby Madden will be refereeing Celtic for the third time in 12 SPFL matches, previously he took charge of the away games against Hearts and Aberdeen.

CELTIC: Hart; Ralston, Cater-Vickers, Starfelt, Juranovic; Turnbull, McGregor, Bitton; Abada, Giakoumakis, Jota

SUBS: Bain, Kyogo, McCarthy, Johnston, Forrest, Montgomery, Welsh
