Neil Lennon has named his side for today’s game against Rangers at Ibrox and the Irishman has decided to make a one change from the side that beat Dundee United a few days ago. Celtic go into the game 16 points behind but a win will pull the 10IAR chasers back into the title race and send a warning to Gerrard’s Rangers.
In goals, Vasilis Barkas starts. He came back into the team versus the Tannadice outfit a few days ago and recorded a clean sheet and will be hoping for more of the same today.
In defence, Lennon has opted to go with Kris Ajer and Nir Bitton after Jullien’s injury. Jeremie Frimpong and Diego Laxalt play in the full back berths as Celtic look to finish the year on a high.
In the midfield, Ismaila Soro, David Turnbull and Ryan Christie join captain Callum McGregor in the Diamond that the manager has opted to go with in recent weeks.
Once again, Lennon has gone with Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths as the pair were so successful midweek after pairing up together.
