Stephen Welsh comes in to start his first match in more than a year as Celtic conclude their Champions League campaign at home to Feyenoord tonight.
The defender replaces Nat Phillips in central defence for tonight’s match with his only outing this season coming in August when he replaced Cameron Carter-Vickers at half time in the 3-1 win away to Aberdeen.
Although the former Spurs defender is training this week his hamstring won’t be risked tonight with Welsh partnering Liam Scales in central defence.
