Fixture: Celtic vs Kilmarnock
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Celtic have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Kilmarnock in a Premiership clash at Paradise this afternoon.

The Bhoys dropped their first points of the new league season last weekend when they drew 2-2 away at Inverness and will be looking to return to winning ways on home turf today.




To get the job done, Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers picks a central defensive pairing of Jozo Simunovic and Erik Sviatchenko, with Kolo Toure on the bench. Dorus de Vries is between the sticks, while Scott Brown and Nir Bitton will aim to control the game from midfield. Moussa Dembele leads the attack, with support from Scott Sinclair, James Forrest and Tom Rogic.

Rodgers has Leigh Griffiths on the bench if he needs to throw on another striker, while Patrick Roberts is another option. Cristian Gamboa is also amongst the substitutes today.
