Confirmed – Celtic Starting XI; Dembele Starts

CELTIC take on Bristol this evening in what is their final game in Wales before heading back to Glasgow to begin final preparations for the Champions League qualifiers and SPFL.

So far, Ange Postecoglou has put out two separate sides in each half for the games against Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton. Tonight, the manager goes with a normal starting XI and subs.

Barkas starts in goals with a very young defence in front of him. Soro and McGregor take the midfield while it will be a front four of Dembele, Turnbull, Johnson and Ajeti.

Here is the full starting XI as stated by Celticfc.net:

CELTIC: Barkas; Ralston, Welsh, Urhoghide, Taylor; Soro, McGregor, Dembele, Turnbull, Johnston, Ajeti

Subs: Bain, Ntcham, Shaw, Robertson, Murray, Henderson, Montgomery, Hjelde, Moffat

Johnston comes back into the starting XI which is great to see. Turnbull getting a run out now will also stand him in good stead.

There are a lot of players committed from the squad and you have to believe the manager is keeping them some on the back burner to play against Preston and be ready for Midjtylland.
