WILFRIED NANCY has brought back Liam Scales to his starting line-up against Motherwell at Fir Park this evening.
At the same time, the Celtic boss has dropped misfiring Johnny Kenny with a frontline that looks like being led by Daizen Maeda.
Nancy has also found a place in midfield for Paulo Bernardo with Arne Engels on the substitutes’ bench.
TEAM: Schmeichel; Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; Nygren, Bernardo, McGregor, Hatate; Yang, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, Simpson-Pusey, McCowan, Yamada, Kenny, Engels, Murray, Forrest and Donovan.
