Brendan Rodgers has named his starting eleven for tonight’s clash at home to Rosenborg in the UEFA Europa League.

The Hoops will be hoping to get back to winning ways after failing to pick up all three points against St Mirren last Friday, with a win needed to kick off our bid to qualify for the knockout stages.

As announced by UEFA, tonight’s match squad is as follows:

Starting XI – Craig Gordon, Mikael Lustig, Dedryck Boyata, Filip Benkovic, Kieran Tierney, Scott Brown, Olivier Ntcham, Tom Rogic, James Forrest, Callum McGregor, Odsonne Edouard.

Substitutes – Scott Bain, Jack Hendry, Leigh Griffiths, Scott Sinclair, Ryan Christie, Youssouf Mulumbu, Mikey Johnston.

Celtic of course have already played the Norwegians twice already this season, brushing them aside in UEFA Champions League qualifying in a tie that included a 3-1 win at Celtic Park.

That night Odsonne Edouard scored a double that night and he’ll have the chance to pile the misery onto our visitors tonight.

Elsewhere Filip Benkovic starts alongside Dedryck Boyata, while Youssouf Mulumbu could make his debut with a place on the bench.

Can we ensure we get off to a winning start in Group B?
