Celtic Team’s Up – Idah starts as Kyogo drops to bench in tactical switch

Brendan Rodgers has named his starting XI to take on Atalanta in the Champions League this evening for the 5.45pm kick-off (CPT).

Reo Hatate starts ahead of Paul Bernardo, Auston Scales keeps his place as CCV didn’t make it and Kyogo drops to the bench to be replaced by Adam Idah in a tactic switch by Brendan Rodgers.

Schmeichel is in goals and the back four are Johnston, Trusty, Scales and Valle. The midfield three as the captain Callum McGregor who is joined by Hatate and Engels and the front three are Kuhn, Idah and Maeda.

Subs for Celtic are Sinisalo, Bain, Palma, Kyogo, Yang, McCowan, Nawrocki, Bernardo, Forrest, Ralston and Welsh.

It’s currently 15 degrees and raining, so typical Glasgow weather that will suit the Bhoys.
