Martin O’Neill brings back Kelechi Iheanacho today to lead the line for Celtic at Tannadice against Dundee United…
And Aston Trusty can only make the bench as the Celtic manager retains the services of Benjamin Arthur in his starting XI which also includes, as expected, the return of the Celtic captain Callum McGregor. The Celtic team, playing the usual 4-3-3 formation is as follows for what is a must win match which will be played on a terrible surface.
With Kelechi Iheanacho back in the starting line-up for Celtic its’ Junior Adamu who is the back-up striker on the bench with no place in today’s squad for Tomas Cvancara, who scored against Motherwell last weekend. Paulo Bernardo also finds himself watching from the stand yet again in what has been a frustrating season for the former Portugal U21 captain.
Kick-off is at 12.30pm. Here’s the Celtic team news…
Celtic XI: Sinisalo; Donovan, Arthur, Scales, Tierney; McGregor (c), Hatate, Nygren; Yang, Iheanacho and Maeda.
Celtic subs: Doohan; Trusty, Saracchi, Ralston, McCowan, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adamu, Tounekti and Forrest.
