Team News: Teemu Pukki, James Forrest in for Celtic

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has handed a start to Teemu Pukki for tonight's clash against Kilmarnock.

Pukki, one of the goal heroes from last weekend's 4-0 victory against Hibernian at Easter Road, starts alongside Kris Commons in midfield for the Hoops.

James Forrest, meanwhile, makes a welcome return to the Celtic starting lineup after recovering from injury.

There is no place in the Killie squad for Alexei Eremenko who is lacking match-fitness, while Jackson Irvine also misses out against his parent club due to a condition in his loan.

Celtic: Forster, Fisher, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Izaguirre, Forrest, Brown, Ledley, Mulgrew, Commons, Pukki Subs: Zaluska, Johansen, Biton, Samaras, Boerrigter, Balde, O'Connell

Kilmarnock: Samson, Clohessy, Ashcroft, Pascali, Tesselaar, Clingan, Slater, McKenzie, Kiltie, Gros, Muirhead Subs: Reguero, Nicholson, Boyd, Johnston, Maksimenko, Gardyne, O'Hara
