NEIL LENNON has revealed his Celtic team to face Hibernian at Parkhead tonight.
The Premiership champions have had to hastily throw a second-string squad together at the last minute after Christopher Jullien tested positive for coronavirus on Saturday.
Thirteen players and three members of staff have enetered self-isolation as a precautionary measure, leaving Lennon with a decimated pool of players to choose form.
And it appears as though the Celtic boss has placed his faith in youth, with a host of young players given the nod to start tonight.
š Your #CelticFC team to face Hibernian at Celtic Park.
