JONNY HAYES will make his first competitive appearance of the year when he lines up against Livingston at Parkhead this afternoon.
The 31-year-old Irish winger has been out since sustaining a broken leg in the 2-0 win over Dundee at Dens Park on Boxing Day.
Hayes’ inclusion is one of four changes to the team that earned a goalless draw against Rosenborg in Trondheim in midweek – Mikael Lustig, Tom Rogic and Jozo Simunovic also return with Cristian Gamboa, Kieran Tierney, Jack Hendry and Scott Sinclair dropping out.
TEAM: Gordon; Lustig, Ajer, Simunovic; Forrest, Brown, Ntcham, Hayes; Rogic, McGregor, Edouard. Subs: Bain, Hendry, Griffiths, Sinclair, Christie, Tierney, Johnston.
