Celtic squad revealed as Reo Hatate role call awaits and Rodgers faces decision on 2 key tweaks

It was a happy hunting ground for Brendan Rodgers in his first stint in charge and now the Celtic boss returns to Aberdeen in search of another signature result.

But he will have to navigate the encounter in the Granite City without Oh Hyeon-gyu who is out for up to six weeks with a calf problem. Alistair Johnston is working his way back but also isn't available as the Premiership champions aim to put down an early marker after the opening day 4-2 win over Ross County last weekend. Barry Robson doesn't have his problems to seek as defender Rhys Williams (back) remains out. The Dons signed New Zealand defender James McGarry on Friday but he won't feature.

But all eyes are on Reo Hatate and whether the Japanese pass master returns to the starting XI after starting on the bench against the Staggies. David Turnbull made his chance count with a brace but will Rodgers be tempted to bring Hatate back to the fold? Punters will find out in the coming hours. And here is how Celtic could line up.
