Celtic squad revealed as Idah asks the question fans want answered and fresh defensive absence opens door

It's been a week where what's said and done has dominated the news cycle and Brendan Rodgers will be relieved to be getting back to the football.

The Celtic boss drew a line under his controversial press conference on Tuesday and now it's all about three points against Dundee. And after his subs got him out of jail against Motherwell, he has some food for thought when Tony Docherty brings his top-six chasing team to Glasgow's east end.

Adam Idah was called upon at half-time and it was his double that saved the day before Luis Palma, another man brought off the bench, sealed it deep into stoppage time. And the impact that duo made will undoubtedly inform Rodgers' decision on his starting XI, particularly after a pair of underwhelming first half displays from Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn.

Celtic fans made their voices heard about Tomoki Iwata's withdrawal and that said it all about where the Japan star stands in the eyes of punters - simply a must-start at the heart of midfield. At the back, meanwhile, Maik Nawrocki is out as first revealed by Record Sport, and while Rodgers hinted Cameron Carter-Vickers is fit to come back in, he urged caution over the America. However he might just need to go into the starting XI here.
