Mohamed Diomande and Nicolas Raskin start in the midfield, with Nedim Bajrami, Ianis Hagi, and Vaclav Cerny playing in support of striker Hamza Igamane.

Subs: Munn, Cortes, Barron, Dessers, Matondo, Dowell, King, Fraser & Danilo.

Meanwhile, Brendan has named his Celtic team with the manager looking to continue his excellent run in this fixture.

Kasper Schmeichel starts in goals.

A back four consists of Greg Taylor, Liam Scales, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston.

Callum McGregor captains the side with Paulo Bernardo and Reo Hatate. Arne Engels drops to the bench.

Kyogo starts through the middle with Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn on the flanks.
