Brendan Rodgers has named his starting eleven to take on Atletico Madrid in their fourth Champions League game of the season.

Celtic only have one point from their first three games despite some respectable performances against Feyenoord, Lazio and Atletico.

After a 2-0 defeat in Rotterdam they suffered a late blow when the Italian scored a 94th minute winner in Glasgow.

The Hoops got their first point on the board against Diego Simeone’s side when the sides met at the end of last month.

They lead twice through Kyogo Furuhashi and Luis Palma but were unable to see it out and finished up with a 2-2 draw.

For the return game in Madrid on Tuesday Rodgers has started with an attacking looking side as they look to take something from the game.

Joe Hart starts in goals behind a back four of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor.

The big question beforehand was who would take the third midfield slot beside captain Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley and the manager has opted for Paolo Bernardo ahead of David Turnbull.

Daizen Maeda and Palma start either side of Kyogo in a three man attack.

The game kicks off at 8pm.
