Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic starting XI to face Ross County in the Scottish Premiership today (kick-off 12noon).
The Scottish champions travel to Dingwall in their first game following Tuesday's forgettable UEFA Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, with the manager making three changes to the side that lost 7-1 in Germany.
Kasper Schmeichel starts between the sticks, with Alex Valle, Liam Scales, Auston Trusty and Alistair Johnston across the back. Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers are all currently side-lined through injury.
Ahead of them, Callum McGregor, Arne Engels and Reo Hatate fill out the midfield, with Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah lining up at the top end of the pitch.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
