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 last week’s game against Lille and will be hoping for three points against the Czech outfit. Following the Scottish Cup semi-final victory over Aberdeen and ahead of the game against Motherwell on Sunday, supporters were wondering if the manager would shuffle the pack and maybe rotate his squad. However he has decided not to.

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 stick with the pairing of Shane Duffy and Nir Bitton. Jeremie Frimpong plays on the right and Diego Laxalt is on the left of the back two.
In midfield, Callum McGregor, Scott Brown and Tom Rogic are retained. With Moi Elyounoussi attacking from the left and Ryan Christie coming in from the right. Up front, Odsonne Edouard will be hoping to score following his return from COVID-19.
On the bench: Barkas, Hazard, Taylor, Griffiths, Ajeti, Klimala, Soro, Turnbull, Ntcham, Elhamed, Henderson and Welsh.
Here is the Sparta team…
