CONFIRMED: BAUER RETURNS FOR HOOPS

0

NEIL LENNON has made one change to his line-up for today’s noon kick-off against Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Stadium.

Austrian international Moritz Bauer, who missed the thrilling 2-0 Europa League Group E win over Cluj on Thursday at Parkhead, returns to the right-back slot with Israeli Hatem Abd Elhamed moving to the substitutes’ bench.

Mohamed Elyounoussi, the on-loan Southampton attacker, retains his place after scoring his first Hoops goal against the Romanians.

Olivier Ntcham starts on the bench and will be joined by striker Vakoun Issouf Bayo who missed the European tie through suspension following his controversial red card in the 1-1 draw with Rennes in the first section game in France two weeks earlier.

There is still no sign of Scotland international frontman Leigh Griffiths as he struggles to overcome a leg injury.

TEAM: Forster; Bauer, Ajer, Jullien, Bolingoli; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Christie, Elyonoussi; Edouard. Subs: Gordon, Elhamed, Hayes, Bitton, Ntcham, Sinclair and Bayo.
