Fixture: Inverness Caldeonian Thistle vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:15 (UK time)

Celtic have confirmed their team to take on Inverness CT in a Scottish Premiership fixture this afternoon.

Bhoys boss Ronny Deila, who is bidding for his side to quickly forget the disappointment of their Europa League exit on Thursday night, quickly restores Stefan Johansen and Nir Bitton to the team, the pair having missed the game with Ajax through suspension.




Tom Rogic also lines up in midfield, while he will be looking to feed central striker Leigh Griffiths. At the back, Jozo Simunovic partners Dedryck Boyata in the heart of Celtic's defence. On the bench meanwhile, Deila can turn to Carlton Cole if he needs to throw on another striker, while Nadir Ciftci is also an option.

Celtic go into the game top of the Premiership table, but Aberdeen cut their lead to just four points yesterday. Victory for the Bhoys would boost that advantage to seven points.
