Goalkeeper Craig Gordon returns while Australian international playmaker Tom Rogic makes his first start of the season.
Southampton attacker Mohamed Elyounoussi, on loan at the champions for the remainder of the campaign, makes his first appearance at Parkhead in a team captained by Callum McGregor with skipper Scott Brown getting a break on the substitutes’ bench.
Scott Sinclair makes a comeback to Lennon’s matchday squad after an eight-game absence and is also among the stand-by squad.
