The Celtic manager has made two changes from the team that started against Hearts at Tynecastle at the weekend, with Julian Araujo and Tomas Cvancara dropping out as they’re not included in Celtic’s Europa League squad.

In comes Colby Donovan at right-back, with Sebastian Tounekti in attack, and Daizen Maeda leading the line.

Kick-off at Celtic Park is 8pm and you can follow the build-up and all the action on the club website’s Match Centre
