Brendan Rodgers has named his lineup for today’s Scottish Premiership clash against Ross County in the freezing Highlands.
With injuries affecting the squad—particularly in the wide areas—the manager has been forced into some tactical adjustments.
Here’s the team set to take the field in the 12:30 PM kick-off, live on Sky Sports:

It looks like Kyogo will start on the wing.
There is space on the bench for Johnny Kenny, Daniel Cummings and Adam Montgomery.
There could be a Celtic debut for the two strikers named on the bench.
Palma was unable to travel due to a family death, while Kuhn and Maeda miss the game through injury, but should be available for Tuesday’s trip to Dundee. James Forrest was already out injured, and isn’t due to return until February.
Celtic enter the game 15 points clear at the top of the Premiership table. With a depleted squad, this match will test their depth and adaptability.
Three points would strengthen their already commanding lead and continue their march toward another league title. With Rangers not playing until Sunday, at home to St Johnstone, Celtic have the chance to extend their lead to 18 points.
But it won’t be easy against Don Cowie’s on-form side.
County have picked up some form in the past few weeks, but they’re never an easy opposition, especially in these freezing conditions.
