Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic team for this evening’s Premiership clash against Dundee United. After the 3-0 win over St Mirren, the Irishman has named the same team from Sunday as the Celts look to continue their impressive season.
Kasper Schmeichel starts in goals. The Dane has kept 16 clean sheets in 20 league appearances this season and will be looking to match Fraser Forster and Craig Gordon with 20+ come the end of the season.
In defence, Greg Taylor and Alistair Johnston start in the fullback berths with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty at centre back. Brendan emphasised the importance of Taylor in his pre-match media conference.
In midfield, skipper Callum McGregor continues with Arne Engels and Luke McCowan, the former Dundee skipper will be relishing the opportunity to show up the visiting crowd after they booed him during the meeting at Tannadice last month.
Adam Idah continues to lead the line with Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn out wide. The team News comes hours after social media speculation appeared to link Kyogo with a January exit to MLS.
