Josip Juranovic makes his first Celtic appearance since April tonight when he lines up against Banik Ostrava in the third match of the pre-season.
The Croatian was held back from Saturday’s 3-3 draw against Rapid Vienna but is restored to the right-back position with Osaze Urhoghide and Tony Ralston listed among the substitutes.
Ange Postecoglou has mixed up tonight’s starters from the side that kicked off against Rapid but in defence Stephen Welsh continues alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers with Joe Hart in goals.
Like Rapid Banik are a few games further into their pre-season fixtures but celebrating their Centenary there is unlikely to be the same physical edge as there was in Saturday’s match in the Austrian capital.
On Saturday Celtic return home to take on Blackburn Rovers in the first of two home friendly matches.
CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Welsh, Taylor; McGregor, O’Riley, Turnbull; Forrest, Kyogo, Jota
SUBS: Bain, Siegrist, Oluwayemi, Julliem Giakoumakis, Ajeti, Abada, McCarthy, Johnston, Ideguchi, Kenny, Bernabei, Urhoghide, Lawal, Ralston, Vata
