After a make-shift team was fielded against Hibs and tonight’s hosts Livingston, Neil Lennon returns from isolation along with several first-team players available again for the second in a double-header with the in-form West Lothian side.
David Martindale’s side took a point from Parkhead on Saturday, the first time under the new manager they have failed to win a match – but they came close to all three in the second half.
Celtic are catching up on missed games and are three matches behind league leaders Rangers, atop the SPFL Scottish Premiership table by a 21-point margin.
The Celtic bench for this evening’s game is: Bain, Brown, Rogic, Ajeti, Klimala, Johnston, Frimpong, Laxalt, Welsh
