Neil Lennon has brought Vasilis Barkas back into the starting lineup as Celtic face Dundee United this afternoon.
The goalkeeper has not played since the 1-1 Parkhead draw with St Johnstone early this month, with Conor Hazard deputising in big games including the Scottish Cup final and at home to Lille in Europa League action.
The Hoops know they need a win to keep on rivals Rangers' tails who hold a 16 point lead at the top of the table, with the Old Firm derby coming this weekend.
Both Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths also start up front while Ismaila Soro is preferred to captain Scott Brown.
Celtic XI to face Dundee Utd: Barkas, Jullien, Ajer, Laxalt, Frimpong, McGregor, Soro, Christie, Turnbull, Edouard, Griffiths.
Subs: Hazard, Taylor, Duffy, Bitton, Brown, Ajeti, Rogic, Johnston, Elyounoussi.
