Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic team to take on Motherwell this afternoon.
The Hoops know they must claim three points if they are to reclaim their slot from Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
Rodgers has made four changes to his starting XI for this one, with captain Callum McGregor missing out altogether.
£11million summer recruit Arne Engels is benched alongside Adam Idah and Nicolas Kühn. Fit again duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor are also welcomed additions among the substitutes.
Kasper Schmeichel starts in goal, with a back four of Alistair Johnston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, and Alex Valle.
Reo Hatate, Luke McCowan, and Paulo Bernardo make up the midfield.
While Daizen Maeda and James Forrest are tasked with supporting Kyogo Furuhashi in attack.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
