CELTIC boss Brendan Rodgers has brought back Cameron Carter-Vickers for the crucial encounter against Dinamo Zagreb in matchday six of the Champions League in the Croatian capital this evening.

The defensive rock sat out the 3-0 Premiership win against Hibs, but is back to partner Auston Trusty with Liam Scales dropping to the bench.

Arne Engels, Luke McCowan and Adam Idah also move into the stand-by squad to make way for Paulo Bernardo, Reo Hatate and Kyogo Furuhashi.

The Hoops are aiming for a win that will hoist them onto 11 Champions League points. Rodgers’s side have picked up wins over Slovan Bratislava and RB Leipzig and draws against Atalanta and Club Brugge in their bid to reach a play-off spot.

TEAM: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; Bernardo, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Kyogo, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, Scales, Palma. Idah, Valle, Yang, McCowan, Nawrocki, Engels, Forrest, Ralston and Welsh.
