Team’s Up – Elyounoussi starts, Ntcham on bench

THE CELTIC TEAM to face Rennes in the Europa League this evening is as follows:

Forster

Elhamed Jullien Ajer Bolingoli

Brown McGregor

Forrest Christie Elyounoussi

Edouard

Subs Gordon Bayo Bauer Hayes Morgan Rogic Ntcham

The inclusion of lion signing Elyounoussi rather than French star Olivier Ntcham is something of a surprise and it looks like Neil Lennon is sticking to his preferred 4-2-3-1 system and not changing to try and counter the home side’s 3-5-2 system of choice.

The Celtic fans are in Rennes in large numbers and are currently making their way to the stadium on what is a beautiful sunny day in Brittany.
