Team’s Up – Oh, Iwata & Johnston given big chance to impress

Brendan Rodgers has made two changes to the side that started at McDiarmid Park on Sunday with David Turnbull and Yang dropping to the bench as the Celtic manager gives a rare start to Oh, Tomoki Iwata and Mikey Johnston.

Joe Hart, whose injury time save turned a 2-2 draw into a  3-1 victory, is in goals and there’s a same-again back four with Alistair Johnston and Greg Taylor as the full-backs and Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales as the central defenders.

There”s one change in midfield as Tomoki Iwata is preferred to David Turnbull and this looks like seeing the captain Callum McGregor playing in a more advanced role alongside the outstanding Matt O’Riley.

Mikey Johnston will play wide on the right with Luis Palma on the left wing and of course Oh will be looking for goals through the middle as he steps in for Kyogo.  Kick-off is fast approaching, whether you are getting along to Paradise or watching on television, enjoy the match and hopefully we’ll see a good Celtic performance and victory.

Here’s the Celtic team once again…

CELTIC: Joe Hart; Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales, Greg Taylor; Tomoki Iwata, Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley; Mikey Johnston, Oh and Luis Palma.

Subs: Bain, Phillips, Kyogo, Turnbull, Holm, Forrest, Bernardo, Ralston and Tilio.
