There are three changes to the starting XI that defeated Hamilton Accies 3-0 on Boxing Day. The biggest news is that Vasilis Barkas returns to the side, while there’s places in the back-line for Christopher Jullien and Diego Laxalt.

Here’s how the Celtic fans reacted to the team:

@RobbieElz: “Lenny testing Barkas character today. Not because he is getting a shot to play but because of the weather. Seriously would it not have been better to continue with hazard keep building confidence?”

@capomendoza: “Well, Barkas gets another chance to show that he is a sound, trustworthy keeper. There has been no sign of that until now, but you never know.”

@dynotic: “As long as Christie don’t take any set pieces or have a shot at goal from the halfway line then am happy way that.”

@BigD51788319: “So we know whos got the gloves for Sat, barring injury. Mon the hoops. Clean sheet and griff and eddie to be on fire today.”

@clash_rocker: “If we win well today, with a good performance, there's no way he can bring Brown back in for ibrox.”

@ashefacedthesun: “Barkas gives me the extreme fear. All the best to him and myself.”

@rabcraig1962: “Eh that’s not nearly as strong as it should be can see us selling at best 30,000 season tickets next season at best ffs just read there Lennon saying he is happy how things are and it’s coming along nicely. aye if plan was to lie down yield title to 12year old club.”
