Neil Lennon has named his side for tonight’s game against Aberdeen at Celtic Park. The 9IAR Champions will look to cut Rangers’ lead to 15 points with a win against an out-of-sorts Aberdeen team, who have not scored in five games. Celtic, meanwhile, have enjoyed four wins on the bounce, beating St Johnstone 2-1 on Sunday thanks to a brace from Odsonne Edouard.
Tonight, Lennon has opted to make three changes.
In goals, Scott Bain continues in the side, keeping Vasilis Barkas on the bench.
In defence, one big change with Stephen Welsh returning to the side to partner Kris Ajer at the heart of the Celtic defence. This change means Shane Duffy drops to the bench. Greg Taylor and Jonjoe Kenny continue on the flanks.
In midfield, Ismaila Soro returns to the side and takes his place at the bottom of the diamond. Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie and David Turnbull continue as part of the midfield four. Tom Rogic drops to the bench,
In attack, Lennon has decided to partner the incredible Odsonne Edouard with Albian Ajeti.
On the bench for Celtic: Barkas, Laxalt, Duffy, Ralston, Klimala, Griffiths, Brown, Elyounoussi, Rogic.
