BRENDAN RODGERS has a massive decision to make ahead of Celtic’s High Noon showdown against Dundee at Dens Park on Sunday.
On-loan Uruguayan Marcelo Saracchi has been in at the kick-off for the champions’ last three Premiership games against Kilmarnock (2-1), Hibs (0-0) and Motherwell (3-2).
Kieran Tierney’s last league start came in the scoreless stalemate at Ibrox at the end of August where he was replaced by the Boca Juniors left-back in the 72nd minute.
The fans’ favourite, who was in the starting line-ups for the Europa encounters against Red Star Belgrade and Sporting Braga and the Premier Sports League Cup quarter-final against Partick Thistle, was a bit-part player for Scotland in their World Cup qualifiers.
ON THE RUN…Kieran Tierney in action during Celtic’s 4-0 Premier Sports League Cup win over Partick Thistle at Firhill.
He replaced Ryan Christie in the 83rd minute of the 3-1 win over Greece and took over as a 72nd-minute substitute for Hoops team-mate Anthony Ralston in the nervy 2-1 success over Belarus.
Saracchi returned to the international fold during the break and went straight into the team for the wins over Dominican Republic and Uzbekistan and was also named captain for the first match by boss Marcelo Bielsa.
