ANGE POSTECOGLOU isnt mucking about with his team selection in Paisley.
There’s been no rotation from the manager as he searches for his first win in Paisley. It’s also interesting to note that Celtic haven’t scored here with Ange Postecoglou as manager, drawing 0-0 after last season’s League Cup final, and losing 2-0 in September.

Many were expecting some rotation for the match, with changes in every area of the pitch, just to freshen things up. But the bhoys have had a week to recover from their last game, and the manager must believe that the same team is sharp enough to get a result today.
Haksabanovic can feel unlucky, not getting in from the start today, but no doubt he’ll come off the bench at some point, as will Oh and O’Riley, who many thought could start. Tony Ralston misses out too, with many predicting he’d get a start in Paisley.
Liel Abada is on the bench; he’s featured in every league game for Celtic this season, despite just starting nine.
We’ll likely get to see some more of Iwata during the game too, looking decent in his last few appearances from the bench.
It’s a strong squad that should really be marching out of Paisley with a few goals and three points. But the hosts will have the belief that they can cause another upset.
It’s set to be an entertaining match.
