BRENDAN RODGERS has brought in £11million record signing Arne Engels for his first start in this afternoon’s Premiership encounter against Hearts at Parkhead.
Paulo Bernardo drops to the substututes’ bench to make way for the Belgian international midfielder who replaced the Portuguese playmaker in the 62nd minute of the champions’ 3-0 derby romp almost a fortnight ago.
It’s the only change from the team that hammered Philippe Clement’s Ibrox side.
TEAM: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Kyogo, Maeda: Subs: Sinisalo, Ralston, Valle, Trusty, Bernardo, McCowan, Idah, Palma, Forrest.
