Lewis Morgan started the game for the Scottish champions following his move from St Mirren, while Jonny Hayes made his comeback off the bench from a broken leg. Ryan Christie, who spent last season on loan at Aberdeen, also started and there was game time for teenagers Stephen Welsh and Kerr McInroy as Rodgers rotated his side.
