Celtic face Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership tonight hoping to at least maintain a seven-point lead at the top of the table.
With Rangers playing at the same time, it could be another big night in an increasingly pleasing title race as Ange Postecoglou’s Bhoys march forward with confidence and positivity.
Rotation is expected from the manager again as he uses the full extent of his squad prior to the World Cup, but what eleven will he go for? Here’s our best go at an eleven…
Joe Hart is a guarantee in goal as the team’s number-one ‘keeper this season, but we could see two changes to the defensive line in front of him.
Tonight’s match is seen as a chance for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt to rekindle their partnership. The Swedish defender is still returning to full fitness but after featuring against Real Madrid may well make his first league start since the victory over Rangers.
Greg Taylor meanwhile is likely to come back into the eleven on the left flank after another productive showing off the bench against Dundee United. We’ve gone for Anthony Ralston on the opposite flank too, given his fine showing at the weekend.
In midfield, another start for Aaron Mooy is expected after David Turnbull’s Celtic Park opportunity. Mooy would complete a midfield trio also consisting of Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate – both of whom have been mainstays in recent weeks.
Further forward it would be great to see Jota get another turn on the left flank, supporting Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada this time – both of whom came off the bench to net brilliant late goals at the weekend.
Your predicted XI in full is: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, O’Riley, Hatate, Mooy, Abada, Jota, Kyogo.
