Team News: Celtic ring the changes for Champions League qualifier

Celtic ring the changes

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has made nine changes to his starting lineup for tonight's Champions League playoff with Maribor.

Only Charlie Mulgrew and Efe Ambrose have kept their places in the side from the Bhoys' 1-0 defeat at the hands of Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the weekend.

Craig Gordon returns in goal for the hosts, while Anthony Stokes starts up front as Celtic look to move into the group stages following a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week.

Maribor, meanwhile, make three changes of their own, with Zeljko Filipovic, Agim Ibraimi and Marcos Tavares coming into the starting lineup.

Celtic: Gordon; Lustig, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Izaguirre; McGregor, Mulgrew, Johansen, Kayal, Berget; Stokes Subs: Matthews, Biton, Boerrigter, Commons, Denayer, Zaluska, Griffiths

Maribor: Handanovic; Stojanovic, Rajcevic, Suler, Viler; Vrsic, Mertelj, Pilipovic, Ibraimi; Tavares, Mendy Subs: Cotman, Mejac, Sallalich, Zahovic, Dervisevic, Bohar, Arghus
