For one last time, Celtic will be led out by Martin O’Neill at Parkhead.

Celtic face Dundee on Wednesday night and have the chance to go top of the table if they better Hearts’ result against Kilmarnock.

O’Neill has confirmed it will be his last game in charge of the Hoops as he prepares to hand the baton over to Wilfried Nancy in time for Hearts on Sunday.

That top of the table clash may play a factor in who is picked so that there are fresh legs for Sunday.

Kieran Tierney to remain on the bench amid injury concern

Kieran Tierney is set to have an injection to help solve an ongoing issue but should be okay to remain on the bench and allow Marcelo Saracchi to continue to deputise at left-back.

Resting key players for the big game could also be another idea, allowing Johnny Kenny and Sebastian Tounekti to come into the starting XI, despite the impressive performances of Daizen Maeda and Hyunjun Yang.

Luke McCowan is also another who could drop to the bench and allow Benjamin Nygren to return to the starting XI.

Kasper Schmeichel keeps his place in goal after impressing against Hibernian.

Colby Donovan also remains in the XI, even though he was potentially lucky to not be sent off. Auston Trusty, Liam Scales and Saracchi complete the back four.

Moving into midfield and the trio will consist of Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor and Arne Engels, all of whom have begun to form a solid partnership.

Tounekti, Kenny and Nygren then add the finishing touches in attack.
