Neil Lennon has named his Celtic team for today’s Scottish Premiership match away to Motherwell, per the official club website.
The full matchday squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Bain, Frimpong, Ajer, Bitton, Laxalt, Brown, McGregor, Christie, Rogic, Elyounoussi, Ajeti.
Substitutes – Barkas, Taylor, Duffy, Griffiths, Klimala, Turnbull, Ntcham, Edouard, Elhamed.
After a humiliating defeat at home to a weak Sparta Prague side on Thursday, nothing less than a win will ease the pressure on Lennon and his Bhoys today.
Celtic fans are furious with the direction the season is taking, and rightly so.
Failure to keep pace with Rangers in the league this weekend could be a knockout blow for the manager. They just happen to have a pretty favourable home fixture against bottom-of-the-league Hamilton.
After choosing not to change his team between last week’s Aberdeen win and the Europa League defeat, Lennon has made brought in players such as Albian Ajeti and Kristoffer Ajer for today’s encounter.
The struggling Shane Duffy finds himself on the Celtic bench, as does Odsonne Edouard.

Fan reaction
The decision to drop Duffy has been well received given his well-documented problems in the heart of the Celtic defence recently.
However, there is some concern that Leigh Griffiths hasn’t been given the chance to start after his goal on Thursday night.
Others such as David Turnbull have also been left out, with the manager choosing not to make massive changes to his eleven.
These supporters have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on it all.
