ANGE POSTECOGLOU has named his starting XI as Celtic make the journey across the M8 to take on Shaun Maloney's Hibs.
The Premiership table-toppers will be looking for a reaction following Thursday night's 2-0 defeat to Bodo/Glimt, and know that a victory can open up a six-point gap with title rivals Rangers - for a few hours, at least.
Joe Hart retains his starting spot in goal and Carl Starfelt is the only defender to have started in Norway to hold onto his place. Josip Juranovic comes in for Anthony Ralston, Cameron Carter-Vickers returns at the expense of Stephen Welsh and Greg Taylor replaces Liam Scales at left-back.
In midfield, Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate return to the starting line-up as Matt O'Riley and Nir Bitton make way, with Tom Rogic getting the nod once again.
