The under-pressure Parkhead boss is looking to win his fourth consecutive game after following up victories over Lille and Kilmarnock with the penalty shoot-out victory over Hearts in the Scottish Cup final on Sunday.
This is the first time they’ll meet the Staggies since the Highland club knocked the Scottish champions out of the Betfred Cup with a shock 2-0 win at Celtic Park. Since then there has been quite a change at the league’s bottom side with ex-Celtic defender John Hughes replacing Stuart Kettlewell as the club’s manager.
This is Hughes’ first team: Laidlaw; Watson, Iacovitti, Morris, Reid; Draper, Vigurs; Paton, Kelly, Gardyne; Stewart.
While the Celtic subs bench is thus: Barkas, Taylor, Bitton, Ajeti, Klimala, Rogic, Johnston, Ntcham, Elyounoussi.
And the starting line-up is...
