Ange Postecoglou has gone with an unchanged Celtic side for tonight’s Champions League tie away to RB Leipzig.

Giorgos Giakoumakis is back from injury to take a place on the bench where he is joined by Scott Robertson, included in the matchday squad for the first time this season. David Turnbull is missing from the bench despite featuring against Motherwell on Saturday.

Stephen Welsh and Moritz Jenz are paired together in central defence for the third match running with the focus very much on how they perform, replacing the injured Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt.

A win is essential for Leipzig after they lost their first two matches, unusually Marco Rose has only named eight substitutes, two less than Celtic.

In the other group match Real Madrid host Shakhtar Donetsk with the Spanish side looking to strengthen their lead in the group.

CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Welsh, Jenz, Taylor; McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate; Maeda, Kyogo, Jota

SUBS: Siegrist, Bain, Giakoumakis, Haksabanovic, Bernabei, McCarthy, Abildgaard, Robertson, Forrest, Ralston
