Forrest replaces Mackay-Steven for Celtic

James Forrest has replaced Gary Mackay-Steven for Celtic in their starting lineup for their Champions League clash against Malmo.

The switch is the only change Bhoys boss Ronny Deila has made to his side following their 4-2 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the weekend.

Leigh Griffiths leads the line for the home side, supported by Stefan Johansen, Stuart Armstrong and Forrest behind the frontman, while Dedryck Boyata and Virgil van Dijk start in the heart of the defence.

Malmo feature former Manchester United and Cardiff City forward Magnus Wolff Eikrem in their starting lineup this evening, while former Rotherham United man Kari Arnason also earns a starting berth.

Celtic: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Bitton; Forrest, Johansen, Armstrong; Griffiths Subs: Bailly, Ambrose, Ciftci, Commons, Mackay-Steven, Rogic, Mulgrew

Malmo: Wiland; Tinnerholm, Arnason, Bengtsson, Yotun; Rodic, Lewicki, Rakip, Berget; Eikrem, Djurdjic Subs: Andersson, Konate, Vindheim, Carvalho, Molins, Mehmeti, Sana
