Celtic have announced their starting line-up that will take on Hibs at Easter Road on Saturday. The team was revealed on the Hoops’ Twitter account.
The biggest news is that the Hoops are back at full strength following the changes made for the Betfred Cup tie against Partick Thistle. Interestingly, Moritz Bauer gets the nod to start at right-back instead of Hatem Abd Elhamed.
Midfielder keeps place in side
Olivier Ntcham keeps his place in the side after some excellent performances, and Scott Sinclair is on the bench after his goal against Partick Thistle.
Celtic fans on social media have had their say on the team that has been selected by Neil Lennon. One fan said simply ‘what a team’.
Here are some of the best reactions from social media to the team selected by the Hoops boss to take on Hibs:

The Hoops will be hoping to maintain their 100% record in the league against Hibs, and the team that the Celtic boss has selected is certainly strong enough to do that.
Hoops will need to play well to win
Hibs may be struggling this season, but Celtic’s recent league record at Easter Road isn’t the best. Therefore, the Hoops will be well aware that they will have to play well to pick up the three points.
The Hibs game is the start of a big eight days for Celtic before the international break. The match at Easter Road is followed by games against Cluj and Livingston. It would be the perfect start to an important week should the Hoops triumph in Edinburgh.
