Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic side to face Slovan Bratislava this evening at Celtic Park in the Champions League

Rodgers faced a tough selection choice in midfield, with some calling for Paulo Bernardo to start tonight’s Game in place of Reo Hatate.

With great squad depth at his disposal, the Irishman has made his decision.

Celtic’s back five continues with Kasper Schmeichel in goal, and the Dane has been a welcome addition, equalling a 118-year club record with clean sheets in each of the first five league Games.

Alistair Johnston starts at right-back, with the Canadian international in sensational form so far.

At the heart of the defence are Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales, who have formed a formidable partnership.

Greg Taylor takes his place at left-back, and the Scottish defender has proven to be a vital part of the Hoops’ success over the last five years.

In midfield, Celtic captain Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate start alongside Arne Engels, with Engels netting his first Hoops goal at the weekend against Hearts from the penalty spot, a real sign that he’s ready to make an immediate impact, with tonight offering another chance to shine.

Kyogo Furuhashi starts up top, with Nicolas Kuhn on the right and Daizen Maeda on the left.

Each player has shown over the past month just how vital they are to this Celtic side.

Kickoff for tonight’s Game is at 8 PM, and it will be live on TNT Sports 2.
