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

Celtic have officially confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to host Motherwell at Paradise in a Scottish Premiership fixture this afternoon.

Ronny Deila's side have won the Premiership title and will be presented with the trophy today, meaning they will want to celebrate in style by recording a comprehensive win over Motherwell on home turf. Deila responds to Leigh Griffiths' suspension by naming Ryan Christie up front, while Efe Ambrose is in at the back to partner Erik Sviatchenko in the heart of defence as Dedryck Boyata and Jozo Simunovic remain injured.




Patrick Roberts will be looking to build on his good form, while Stefan Johansen is also handed a start against Motherwell. Tom Rogic and Stuart Armstrong will look to support lone man Christie.

On the bench, Deila can turn to Nir Bitton if he needs to strengthen his side in midfield, while Scott Allan and James Forrest are also options from the substitutes' bench.
