CONFIRMED: TAYLOR DEBUT, CHRISTIE, BAUER RETURN



GREG TAYLOR, bought from Kilmarnock for £2.25million on transfer deadline day last month, will make hit Celtic debut against St Mirren at Parkhead tonight.

The Scotland international left-back replaces Boli Bolingoli and is one of three changes to the starting line-up that thrashed Aberden 4-0 at Pittodrie on Sunday.

Moritz Bauer will make his fifth appearance as he starts ahead of 18-year-old Dutchman Jeremie Frimpong, who scored in the victory over the Dons.

And Ryan Christie is back after his two-game suspension to take his place in the playmaker role with Tom Rogic dropping to the substitutes’ bench.

The midfield ace sat out the 6-0 rout of Ross County and the demolition of the Dons, but starred in last week’s 2-1 Europa League Group E triumph over Serie A cracks Lazio in Glasgow.

TEAM: Forster; Bauer, Jullien, Ajer, Taylor; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Christie, Elyounoussi; Edouard. Subs: Gordon, Elhamed, Bitton, Hayes, Morgan, Ntcham, Rogic.
