Fixture: Hamilton vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)

Celtic have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes for this afternoon's Scottish Premiership fixture away to Hamilton at New Douglas Park.

Bhoys manager Ronny Deila trusts in Leigh Griffiths, Kris Commons, James Forrest and Tom Rogic to carry his side's attacking threat today, while Nir Bitton and Scott Brown look to dominate the midfield. At the back, Tyler Blackett partners Dedryck Boyata, ahead of goalkeeper Craig Gordon.




On the bench for Deila to turn to is Nadir Ciftci if he needs to bring on another striker, while Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong are also options for the Norwegian manager.

Celtic head into the game on the back of a 2-2 Europa League draw with Fenerbahce on Thursday and with the knowledge that Premiership leaders Aberdeen slumped to an embarrassing 5-1 defeat at St Johnstone yesterday, meaning a win would put the Bhoys just one point behind the Dons.
