Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team for today’s match at home to Livingston in the Scottish Premiership, per the official club website.
The full match squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Juranovic, Bitton, McGregor, Turnbull, Abada, Jota, Giakoumakis.
Substitutes – Bain, Kyogo, McCarthy, Johnston, Forrest, Montgomery, Welsh.
Today’s match is a big one. Celtic have the chance to move to the top of the table ahead of Rangers, who play away to Motherwell tomorrow.
Despite a run of consistent results, there remains no room for error and the Bhoys must pick up all three points today.
Ange has named as strong a team as you expect, but there are some changes from the fixture away to Hibernian on Wednesday night.
The big surprise is of course the lack of Kyogo in the starting line-up as he gets a rest on the bench. James Forrest also returns from injury to take a place as a substitute.
Meanwhile, Nir Bitton and Liel Abada return to the starting lineup.
