Team News: Celtic make two changes for trip to Kilmarnock

Two changes for Celtic at Kilmarnock

Celtic have made two changes to their side for the Scottish Premiership trip to Kilmarnock.

Bhoys boss Ronny Deila has chosen to shuffle his pack in defence, with Mikael Lustig and Dedryck Boyata making way for Efe Ambrose and Saidy Janko.

Elsewhere, Deila has kept faith with the players that beat Partick Thistle 2-0 on Sunday.

Tomas Rogic, who makes his first competitive start for Celtic in two years at the weekend, keeps his place in midfield playing behind lone striker Leigh Griffiths.

Gary Mackay-Steven, Charlie Mulgrew and Anthony Stokes are among the substitutes.

Kilmarnock start with youngster Greg Kiltie playing alongside Josh Magennis in attack.

Kilmarnock: MacDonald; Smith, Hamill, Connolly, McKenzie; Robinson, Higginbotham, Westlake, Ashcroft; Kiltie, Magennis

Celtic: Gordon; Janko, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Izaguirre; Bitton, Johansen; Commons, Rogic, Forrest; Griffiths
