FILIPE JOTA has been given the nod by Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers to start against Dundee at Parkhead tonight.
The comeback fans’ favourite, who netted the third goal after coming off the substitutes’ bench in the 3-1 win at Motherwell at the weekend, will line up on the right with Daizen Maeda on the left.
New loan signing from Crystal Palace, Jeffrey Schlupp, is among the stand-by squad.
The champions can go 13 points ahead at the top with a win against the Taysiders who took a point off the Hoops in a 3-3 draw at Dens Park last month.
TEAM: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Jota, Idah, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, Scales, Kuhn, Yang, McCowan, Schlupp, Kenny, Bernardo and Ralston.
Earlier today, we asked you how much you could remember about recent associations with the Tayside club in CQN’s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.
Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.
