CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS is back in the Celtic line-up while Maik Nawrocki makes his debut in James Forrest’s testimonial match against Athletic Bilbao at Parkhead this evening.
The USA World Cup central defender has been sidelined since the end of April after undergoing knee surgery.
Polish new Bhoy Nawrocki, signed for £4.3million from Legia Warsaw, missed out on the 1-1 weekend draw with Wolves in Dublin with an ankle problem, but is fit to start against the Spanish aces.
South Korean Kwon Hyeon-kyu makes his first start alongside Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate in midfield.
Benji Siegrist is in goal while Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda accompany Forrest in attack.
TEAM: Siegrist; Iwata, Carter-Vickers, Nawrocki, Taylor; Kwon, McGregor, Hatate; Forrest, Kyogo, Maeda.
SUBS: Hart, Bain, Starfelt, Scales, Haksabanovic, Abada, Yang, Turnbull, Holm, Oh, Bernabei, O’Riley, Kelly, Ralston, Welsh and McPherson.
