Celtic to field strong side for Inter friendly

Celtic boss Neil Lennon will use Saturday’s Dublin Cup match against Inter Milan as preparation for this season’s Europa League campaign.

Lennon is expected to make changes to the side who were beaten 2-0 by Wolves at Parkhead last night when the Hoops face the Italian side on Saturday.

"We are up against really good opposition in Inter Milan in the first game," the Irishman said.

"So I am looking to put out a really strong team. A good chunk of players who didn't play last night will play in that game. We might look at a different variation in the way we line up.

"Obviously we are playing against a very good European side so it is good to experiment and see what we can do away from home in Europe in that type of game."

Celtic began their Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win over Hibernian at Easter Road last Sunday.
