Brendan Rodgers has managed to make six changes to his Celtic line-up as they host Ross County at Parkhead this afternoon.
Yet, the Celtic starting XI is still bursting with talent. That's a testament to the work done over the summer to ensure the squad was bolstered to give Rodgers and Co the best opportunity to be successful in every competition.
Paulo Bernardo, Adam Idah, James Forrest, Luke McCowan, Alex Valle, and Liam Scales all come into the team that drew with Club Brugge in UEFA Champions League action a few days earlier.
That means Auston Trusty, Greg Taylor, Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn and Arne Engels drop to the substitutes bench.
"I think it's just giving a freshness to the team," Rodgers told BBC Scotland ahead of the Scottish Premiership clash.
"I trust the squad and today we want a lot of energy in the game. We don't want to be waiting on the game, we've got to go and create it.
"For that, we will have players that can influence the game and will bring a nice energy.

"I think another aspect of where we've improved over the course of the summer, because you need it. You don't want the drop off if you go from Europe into the league or when you're in games. You might be playing in the league or the Champions League and you want to make changes to impact the game.
"So, that's what the players have done really, really well. They come into the game, there's no drop off, the intensity is there, and they have that hunger to come in and do well."
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!
