Celtic Team News: Ntcham starts but Rogic is rested

CELTIC will line-up against Hamilton Accies today with Craig Gordon back in goals. The back four will be Mikael Lustig, who captains the side, Dedryck Boyata, Filip Benkovic (playing on the plastic!) and fit-again Kieran Tierney.

Callum McGregor is joined in the middle of the park by another Celt returning from injury – Olivier Ntcham, who has been missing since the interval at the Betfred Cup semi-final.

Ryan Christie looks like being the number ten with Europe’s most on-form goalscorer Jamesy Forrest to his right and Scotty Sinclair out to his left.

Odsonne Edouard leads the line as usual although Leigh Griffiths makes the bench and is likely to get some game time.

Tom Rogic is not in the squad and the other subs are Scott Bain, Emilio Izaguirre, Jack Hendry, Lewis Morgan, Jonny Hayes and Youssouf Mulumbu.

COYBIG!
