Fixture: Hapoel Beer Sheva vs Celtic
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Celtic have confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes for this evening's crucial Champions League playoff round second leg clash against Israeli outfit Hapoel Beer Sheva.

The Scottish champions won the first leg 5-2 at Paradise, putting them in a commanding position to negotiate their way into the group stage of the Champions League.




Boss Brendan Rodgers will still be wary of the threat posed by Hapoel Beer Sheva however and for tonight's game he selects new signing Scott Sinclair to look to do damage in Israel, along with Leigh Griffiths. James Forrest continues to be trusted by Rodgers, while Nir Bitton features against his countrymen in the heart of midfield, with Scott Brown.

At the back, Rodgers will be looking for Kolo Toure and Mikael Lustig to strike up a good partnership, ahead of goalkeeper Craig Gordon. On the bench, Moussa Dembele and Patrick Roberts can be called for if more attacking talent is needed.
