Neil Lennon has named his team to face Ross County in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, as announced by the official club website.
The full match squad is as follows:
Starting XI – Forster; Frimpong, Jullien, Ajer, Taylor; Brown, Rogic, McGregor, Christie, Forrest; Morgan.
Substitutes – Gordon, Bitton, Bauer, Griffiths, Johnston, Robertson, Sinclair.
Today is an important match following our Europa League highs from Thursday night.
A trip to Dingwall at midday is often not the easiest fixtured on the schedule. With Rangers playing at home later this afternoon, it’s vital we pick up all three points and maintain our position at the top of the table.
The good news is that the Staggies are struggling for form this season and haven’t won a game in eight matches. That run stretches back over two months, with their last victory coming away to Motherwell on September 21st.
Celtic meanwhile have won the last nine matches in all competitions, including a national semi-final and three Europa League fixtures.
If we turn up with the right attitude today, there should be no doubt about the result.
It’s no surprise that the manager has gone with a strong lineup, with most of his big, influential players starting the game this lunchtime.
However, Odsonne Edouard appears to still be injured after missing Thursday’s match against Rennes, with Lewis Morgan again getting the nod in attack after his excellent goal against the French club.
Elsewhere, Tom Rogic and Jeremie Frimpong come back into the team for Olivier Ntcham and Mortiz Bauer, boosting our potential creativity.
Fans seem generally positive about the lineup, though some supporters have concerns about Edouard ahead of next week’s League Cup final at Hampden.
Hopefully, he is just being rested and there’s nothing more to the ‘niggle’ that Lennon suggested he had during the week (BBC Scotland).
This lot took to Twitter this morning to share their thoughts…
