The full matchday squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Barkas, Frimpong, Ajer, Bitton, Laxalt, Soro, McGregor, Turnbull, Christie, Edouard, Griffiths.
Substitutes – Hazard, Taylor, Duffy, Brown, Ajeti, Rogic, Ntcham, Elyounoussi, Elhamed.
Today is absolutely massive, in case you weren’t aware. And of course, you are.
There’s no escaping today’s derby and, for better or worse, we are going to know a lot more about this season’s title race by full-time.
Celtic badly need a victory to continue a turnaround in form and bring us closer to Steven Gerrard’s team.
Neil Lennon has chosen a class, crowd-pleasing team full of the regulars that have provided victory after victory of late.
Ismaila Soro and David Turnbull start at the expense of players such as Scott Brown and Olivier Ntcham.
The eleven is strong, the bench is chock full of talent. It’s time to get into this mob.
