Brendan Rodgers has handed a Celtic debut to Nat Phillips.

The Liverpool loanee will make his first start for Celtic against Dundee this afternoon.

And there is potential for further debuts for Luis Palma and Paulo Bernardo who are both on the bench for the match.

The returning Reo Hatate is also named among the subs for Rodgers' side.

Joe Hart starts in goal with Alistair Johnston, Phillips, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor in defence.

Matt O'Riley, Callum McGregor and David Turnbull are in midfield behind a front three of Daizen Maeda, Yang and Kyogo.
