Joe Hart retains the gloves and the back four from last weekend’s opener remains the same with Anthony Ralston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Maik Nawrocki and Greg Taylor all starting.

There’s no changes to the Celtic midfield with last week’s Man of the Match David Turnbull joining Matt O’Riley and Callum McGregor in the Pittodrie huddle just before the midday kick-off. Turnbull and O’Riley contributed three goals and one assist between them last weekend.

And it’s the same again up top with Liel Abada, Kyogo and Daizen Maeda all named in today’s Celtic starting eleven.

On the bench for Celtic today are Bain, Hakšabanović, Yang, Holm, Tomoki, Bernabei, Hatate, Forrest and Welsh.

Kick-off is at 12 noon, the match is on Sky Sports (coverage starts at 11am) and Celtic TV for subscribers outside of Britain and Ireland.
