Neil Lennon has named his first team for 2020 as the Scottish Cup holders kick off their defence with a short trip to face Partick Thistle.
Fraser Forster starts in goals in Maryhill against Ian McCall’s team.
In front of the Englishman, he has Frimpong, Bitton, Jullien and Taylor – the latter will be keen to impress.
Captain Scott Brown, Callum McGregor, Olivier Ntcham and Tom Rogic make up the midfield as Neil Lennon looks to have rectified the tactical oversights that saw Celtic slump to a home defeat at the end of last year.
Celtic’s talisman Odsonne Edouard, who scored a brace in the Final versus Hearts last May, leads the line along with Leigh Griffiths.
On the bench for the Champions, Gordon, Simunovic, Bauer, Hayes, Bolingoli, Arzani and new Bhoy Paddy Klimala.
The last time Celtic faced Thistle in the Scottish Cup, a hat-trick from James Forrest won the day; however, today Celtic have no wingers as the manager attempts to play using a different system.
