Brendan Rodgers has named his team for this afternoon’s game against Kilmarnock. Celtic lost the first meeting between the sides at Rugby Park in the League Cup but won in the league meeting at Celtic Park.
In goals, Joe Hart will continue. In defence, Nat Phillips comes in to partner Liam Scales with Cameron Carter-Vickers not being risked. Greg Taylor and Alistair Johnston will start in the full back berths.
In midfield, Rodgers has gone with an unchanged trio of Tomoki Iwata, Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley.
In attack, Oh will continue with Mikey Johnston and Luis Palma completing the front three.
On the bench: Bain, Kyogo, Yang, Turnbull, Nawrocki, Bernardo, Bernabei, Forrest, Ralston
Hopefully the decision to leave Carter-Vickers out is a precaution and not related to the fact he was subbed against Hibs during the week. After the game, Brendan said that he had felt tightness in his hamstring but that the substitution was a precaution.
Killie have a fine home record, despite losing last weekend to Hearts. Derek McInnes’ side won up at Pittodrie on Wednesday night.
I turned off the game the minute I saw CalMac wearing that rainbow armband, for it represents Celtic’s public repudiation of God and His Catholic Church, Christian society and family life and the natural law. My immortal soul is far too valuable to sacrifice by aligning myself with these enemies of God and their immoral agenda, which is what I would be doing if I continued to support a club that offends against the divine law in so public a manner. I urge every Catholic worthy of the name to do likewise for their own salvation’ sake. Don’t allow yourselves to be duped into the ranks of the enemies of God for the sake of a bit of sporting excitement. This is no small matter, it has ramifications for society and especially for generations of children who are targets for Stonewall!
