Team News: Ange makes three changes as defender returns after 10 weeks out

Ange Postecoglou has made three enforced changes to the Celtic side that beat Hearts 1-0 on Thursday night.

Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers replace Stephen Welsh and Tony Ralson in defence with Mikey Johnston coming in for the injured Jota in midfield.

The biggest risk is Taylor who hasn’t completed a match since August but has been spotted in training recently having made a full recovery from shoulder surgery.

Injuries have taken a heavy toll on the Celtic squad in recent months but other than Jota today’s side isn’t far off the strongest.

After waiting six months for an away win the hoops have won their last four on the road domestically with another three points essential today to reduce the gap at the top back down to four points.

Don Robertson will referee today’s match.

CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; Turnbull, McGregor, Rogic; Forrest, Kyogo, Johnston

SUBS: Bain, Scales, Bitton, Ajeti, Abada, McCarthy, Montgomery
