Ange Postecoglou has made two changes to the Celtic side that beat Dundee United on Monday for today’s SPFL match at home to Ross County. 

The injured James Forrest is replaced by Jota while Tom Rogic comes in for Matt O’Riley who is listed as a substitute. 

David Turnbull is also on the bench, the first time that he has been in the squad since the League Cup Final win over Hibs three months ago. 

Where Jota and Maeda play looks like the only area unclear from the team lines, strangely neither Stephen Welsh or Chris Jullien are among the subs although Nir Bitton can play in central defence if required. Karamoko Dembele is with the Celtic B team at Ibrox in the Lowland League fixture.

Don Robertson will referee today’s match, his last two Celtic matches at Alloa and Dundee United resulted in retrospective red cards for incidents that he decided were yellow cards. 

CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; Hatate, McGregor, Rogic; Jota, Giakoumakis, Maeda 

SUBS: Bain, Bitton, Abada, Turnbull, McCarthy, Johnston, Guchi, O’Riley, Ralston
