'Is Lennon incapable of telling the truth?': Celtic fans react to starting XI to face AC Milan
It looks like a 3-5-2 formation with Jeremie Frimpong returning to the line-up at right wing-back. Hatem Elhamed joins Nir Bitton and Kristoffer Ajer in the back-line, while Ryan Christie partners Odsonne Edouard in attack.
With Celtic already out of Europe, supporters immediately queried why so many regulars were being used for a dead-rubber fixture.

@mjoneill67 sarcastically added: “Brilliant to see the older boys get a much needed rest in a meaningless game, and some of the fringe players getting a start.”
@redflagjack cheekily asked: “What are the odds we win tonight and Lenny gets an extension?”
@sellickbrady went to a typical complaint: “Scott brown is not good enough for league games let alone European Competition, class player on his day but it’s over now.”

While @Axelfoley81 went further, saying: “I’m lost for words with the managers selections now. This is beyond a joke. Can’t understand why he wouldn’t change it up like he said he would in yesterday press conference. Is he now incapable of telling the truth?”
@Jam_esClark had an alternative plan: “Fly home and take the 0-3.”
