LIVERPOOL loanee Nat Phillips will start alongside Liam Scales in the middle of the Celtic rearguard in the Champions League Group E encounter against Lazio at Parkhead tonight.

Cameron Carter-Vickers, who has missed the last seven games through injury, will take his place among the stand-by squad.

Yang Hyun-jun, who was taken off at half-time and replaced by James Forrest against Motherwel at the weekend, gets the nod to start on the right-side of the attack.
