Celtic squad revealed as Christopher Jullien and 2 fringe men eye big Dundee United chance

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is still without a number of players but has no new injury worries for the cinch Premiership game against Dundee United at Parkhead.

Captain Callum McGregor (face) and fellow midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi (ankle) remain out along with Kyogo Furuhashi, David Turnbull and Albian Ajeti (all hamstring).

Tom Rogic and Daizen Maeda are away on international duty.

Christopher Jullien will be hoping to end his 13-month absence against the team who he faced on the day he suffered his horror knee injury.

Reo Hatate and Matt O'Riley are the only two available natural attacking midfielders ahead of the clash with Rangers so that makes James McCarthy a live option to start for Celtic.

Tony Ralston is an option in defence but Liam Scales for Greg Taylor might be the most likely change if one is made from the startin g XI against Hearts.

United begin life without Jeando Fuchs after selling the midfielder to Peterborough.

Former Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew missed the midweek win over Ross County with a muscle injury but Peter Pawlett is expected to shake off a knock that he picked up against the Dingwall side.

Liam Smith (knee) and Kai Fotheringham (ankle) are working their way back to fitness.

Predicted Celtic XI

Many players are chomping at the bit but starting the same team that played at Tynecastle appears logical.
