Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic team for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership clash with Celtic. The manager has made three changes from the side that drew against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena with Adam Idah and Luke McCowan and Greg Taylor coming into the team at the expense of Jota, Reo Hatate and Jeffrey Schlupp…
In goals, Kasper Schmeichel starts. The Great Dane was excellent against the Bundesliga leaders, earning MOTM, and will be hopeful of a quieter afternoon and a clean sheet against Hibs.
In defence, Jefferey Schlupp drops to the bench with Greg Taylor starting at left back with Alistair Johnston at right back. The American duo of Auston Trusty and Cameron Carter-Vickers continue as the central pairing.
Callum McGregor captains the Celtic and starts in the middle of the park alongside Arne Engels and Luke McCowan.
In attack, Adam Idah starts through the middle. The Irishman scored a goal of the season contender last week against Dundee United and will be keen to nail down that position. Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn start in the wide areas. The pair linked up for the German’s second half goal at the Allianz Arena and they’ll be keen to inflict some pain on Hibs.
Subs: Sinisalo, Scales, Jota, Yang, Schlupp, Kenny, Hatate, Ralston and Bonnar.
Kick-off is at 12.30pm, the match is on Premier Sport and Celtic TV for subscribers outside of Britain and Ireland.
COYBIG!

This is when we start to see just how much the referees have been warned by Collum!
What a tired old team 27.5 average age. What have Kenny and Bonnar done to justify inclusion over Cummings?
Cummings scored twice today – over to you Bren!
Only natural marksman at club and a prolific one at that. Let’s not lose the new McGrory.
