Celtic v Braga team news: Paulo Bernardo starts in Europa League clashSNS Group

Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic side to face Braga in their first home match of the Europa League, with Paulo Bernardo making only his second start of the season.

The Parkhead side began their League Phase campaign with a 1-1 draw with Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade last week and are not looking to make the most of back-to-back matches at Celtic Park.

Kasper Schmeichel starts in goal behind a back four of Kieran Tierney, Liam Scales, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Colby Donovan.

Callum McGregor captains the side and is joined in midfield by Bernardo and Benjamin Nygren, with Sebastian Tounekti and Daizen Maeda playing either side of striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

Braga have Lukas Hornicek in goal and a back line of Leonardo Lelo, Bright Arrey-Mbi, former Celtic player Gustaf Lagerbielke and Yanis da Rocha.

Jean-Baptiste Gorby, Vitor Carvalho and Florian Grillitsch make up a midfield three, with Ricardo Horta, Amine El Ouzzani and Pau Victor in attack.
