Brendan Rodgers has made six changes to the Celtic side that beat Aberdeen on Sunday for tonight’s League Cup tie at home to Falkirk.
Vil Sinisalo comes in to start in goals behind a new look central defensive partnership of Dane Murray and Auston Trusty.
Arne Engels and Luke McCowan join Callum McGregor in midfield with Johnny Kenny starting up front in place of Adam Idah.
Rodgers has a full strength bench to call upon including Ben Nygren and Reo Hatate who both scored in the victory over Aberdeen.
Tonight’s match is played to a finish with a place in the last 16 for the winners.
Next up for Celtic is the visit of Kairat Almaty on Wednesday night in the first leg of the Champions League Play Off.
Falkirk have started their return to the Premiership with a 2-2 draw at home to Dundee United followed by a 3-1 defeat at Livingston last Saturday.
CELTIC: Sinisalo; Johnston, Murray, Trusty, Tierney; McGregor, Engels, McCowan; Forrest, Kenny, Maeda
SUBS: Schmeichel, Scales, Nygren, Idah, Yang, Shin, Bernardo, Hatate, Ralston
Good God, Joe. How long is this going on for? Firstly, Rodgers does not pick Hayato Inamura as a cover for Tierney at Left back in the Champions League squad, preferring the stylish passing of Scales and now he does not pick Shin to start this evening. He is again playing at the politics and it’s about time he damn well stopped. It really is time for him to be let go. His attitude is beyond a joke. He is rude an d is acting badly towards the new Japanese lads. If Kenny and Scales were Japanese, he would not get into their squad. The two Japanese lads do. Get rid of mRodgers. His time has come regardless of the results in the Champions League two games.
Editor: Great news Chris, this time next year you and the lads at CQN will have a compliant manager like Lennon or Delia in charge turning players like Kwon, Holm, Nawrocki and Tilio into £15m superstars while the final remnants of the squad Ange built are sold to send the bank balance towards £150m
Joe
The above hun would love Brendan to leave.
Editor: There are plenty of them that swear allegiance to the CQN cult, correct spelling, ahead of seeing Celtic being at their best.
