Celtic squad revealed as Christopher Jullien eyes Hibs chance amid defensive shake up

Ange Postecoglou shook up the Celtic squad for the midweek trip to the Arctic Circle.

The Australian made six changes for the clash with Bodo/Glimt which brought the Europa Conference League campaign to a screeching halt.

It looked to some as if the focus had turned to the Premiership title race with a host of first-choice named on the sidelines.

Expect a host of names to return to the XI against Hibs including captain Callum McGregor after a disappointing midweek showing.

After failing to impress in Norway, Liam Scales looks likely to drop out for Greg Taylor, and James Forrest is unlikely to keep a starting spot after making little impact on Thursday.

Postecoglou faces an interesting decision over his centre-back pairing with Stephen Welsh and Carl Starfelt struggling in the Conference League.

Cameron Carter-Vickers looks certain to return to the XI, but there could also be a chance to throw Christopher Jullien in as he ramps up his match fitness.

Yosuke Ideguchi is available again for Celtic after missing Thursday’s defeat in Bodo having been left out of the European squad.

Mikey Johnston remains out with an ankle knock, while long-term absentees Albian Ajeti, Kyogo Furuhashi and David Turnbull are still sidelined with hamstring issues.
