It is expected that Ange Postecoglou will make some changes to his Celtic side as the Hoops head north to take on Ross County in the Premier Sports Cup.

There could even possibly be a debut handed to new recruit Sead Haksabanovic off the bench this evening if all goes well.

The match is a 7.45 kick-off at the Global Energy Stadium and can be watched by Hoops fans live on Premier Sports with the build-up beginning 15 minutes prior.

One of the welcome parts surrounding this game is the pricing of tickets with away fans being charged £20 for the match.

As well as this, the traveling support are being given two full stands on a trial basis meaning more can get along to watch the game live.

The squad will be used tonight with the five subs rule having already benefited Celtic this season. Many would rather get the job finished early and make changes but Ange may look for some players to show what they’ve got with two huge fixtures coming up in the next six days.

After sustaining an injury on Sunday and choosing to play on, Joe Hart may make way for Benjamin Siegrest for the Swiss keeper to be given his competitive debut for the Hoops.

Elsewhere in defence, Postecoglou won’t want to upset things too much and with Carl Starfelt still needing game time he may opt for the Swedish international.

Moritz Jenz hasn’t put a foot wrong and may come into the side along with Anthony Ralston with Taylor remaining in place.

Callum McGregor may remain in midfield as captain but a first start could be given to Aaron Mooy with it also likely that David Turnbull gets the nod to start.

Up top, there may also be some rotation with it possible that Giorgos Giakoumakis and Daizen Maeda could come into the side from Sunday’s 9-0 victory against Dundee United.
