Fixture: Celtic vs Ajax
Competition: Europa League
Kick-off: 20:05 (UK time)

Celtic have confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes for tonight's do-or-die Europa League game against Ajax at Paradise.

Bhoys manager Ronny Deila, who is wrestling with injuries to skipper Scott Brown and midfielder Kris Commons, while Nir Bitton and Stefan Johansen are suspended, names Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong in his team. James Forrest plays too, as does striker Leigh Griffiths.




Jozo Simunovic lines up in defence alongside Dedryck Boyata. Tom Rogic is also included in the team. On the bench, Deila can turn to Nadir Ciftci if he needs to bring on another striker, while Scott Allan is also amongst the substitutes.

Celtic, who have lost their last two Europa League group stage games, know that only beating Ajax tonight and then Fenerbahce on the final matchday would book them a spot in the last 32 of the competition.
