Celtic’s win in midweek signalled Ange Postecoglou’s first in competitive fixtures as the new Hoops boss.
It has been a long time coming but their attack was firing on all cylinders as the Bhoys finally discovered some confidence.
They will now return to play in front of their home fans at Parkhead on Sunday afternoon, needing to pick up their first three points of the campaign.
They will face Dundee at Paradise but will Postecoglou decide to make any changes to the side that beat Jablonec in the Czech Republic?
We’re tipping the Australian to make two adjustments to the starting XI this weekend.
The first change is in defence where we hope to see Stephen Welsh feature alongside Carl Starfelt in the middle of the backline.
Celtic ran out comfortable 4-2 winners a few days ago but their defence still left plenty to be desired with Nir Bitton scoring an unfortunate own goal.
He’s been in questionable form this term so we’re predicting him to be dropped.
The other change comes in the final third where Ryan Christie replaces David Turnbull in attacking midfield.
The Scot was the club’s Player of the Season for 2020/21 but hasn’t scored a single goal this term or assisted a strike for his teammates.
Christie, on the other hand, has been a rejuvenated figure and scored a wonderfully timed header against Jablonec a few days ago.
Odsonne Edouard remains on the bench which gives Kyogo Furuhashi another chance to impress. He scored with an excellent finish in midweek and was a threat all game long with his clever movement.
Postecoglou continues to place faith in Anthony Ralston while Ismaila Soro has another opportunity to prove his worth in the middle of the park before James McCarthy finds full fitness.
AND in other news, Celtic eye swoop for £60k-p/w beast who’s “different class”, he’s an upgrade on Bitton…
