Neil Lennon has named five changes in his team line up this evening. Jonjoe Kenny makes his debut at right back, allowing Ajer to tuck inside next to Welsh at the expense of Bitton and Duffy. Leigh Griffiths drops to the bench for Albian Ajeti and Scott Brown comes in for Ismaila Soro.

Fans have reacted to the team news by wondering why Soro has been dropped.
What has Soro done or not done to get dropped?? Happy with the defence though. On paper that is a strong team and bench. A top manager would well with that.

Meanwhile, some Celtic fans have defended Lennon and feel that fellow supporters have short memories.
Short memories. Even though NFL needs to go, his treatment has been disgraceful. pic.twitter.com/4M3gjzJiGb

The match kicks off shortly and we will soon find out if the changes in personnel have worked. Celtic need to get back to winning ways to restore some professional pride and re-engage some of these bemused supporters.
