Team’s Up – Jullien returns as Eddy starts

NEIL LENNON has named his side for tonight’s Europa League Group H game versus Sparta Prague. The Celtic manager oversaw a 2-2 game in Saturday’s game versus Hibs and will be hoping for three points against the Czech outfit. It is a must-win if Celtic are to have any chance of progressing beyond Christmas. Jullien and Eddy return to the starting XI as Celtic look to put a bad week behind them with a win in the Czech Republic.

The team has been released by the UEFA website, ahead of the official confirmation from the club – which will likely come towards 5pm.

In goals, Scott Bain continues as Number 1 pick with Barkas on the bench. A statement from Neil Lennon as the Greek goalkeeper is fit but he has preferred the Scottish keeper.

In defence, Neil Lennon has opted to go with the pairing of Kris Ajer and Christopher Jullien. Hatem Abd Elhamed plays on the right and Diego Laxalt is on the left of the back two.

In midfield, Callum McGregor, Scott Brown and Olivier Ntcham are starting. With Moi Elyounoussi attacking from the left and Ryan Christie coming in from the right. Up front, Odsonne Edouard will be hoping to score.

On the bench Celtic have Barkas, Hazard, Taylor, Duffy, Bitton, Ajeti, Klimala, Rogic, Frimpong and Henderson.
