Fixture: Celtic vs Manchester City
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Celtic have officially confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Manchester City at Paradise in a Champions League group stage fixture this evening.

The Bhoys lost their opening group game 7-0 away in Spain against Barcelona and are looking to turn the corner this evening when they welcome Pep Guardiola's men to Glasgow.




Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, looking for his side to get the better of Manchester City, picks Moussa Dembele to lead the line, with support from Tom Rogic, Scott Sinclair and James Forrest. Nir Bitton and Scott Brown will look to control the centre of the park, while at the back, Kolo Toure and Erik Sviatchenko form the central defensive pairing, ahead of Craig Gordon.

Dorus de Vries is on the bench, while Jozo Simunovic is a defensive option for Rodgers. Leigh Griffiths offers a goal threat from the bench, while Patrick Roberts could yet face his parent club.
