Celtic v Falkirk: Interim management team Martin O'Neill and Shaun Maloney pick first line-up since Brendan Rodgers' departure

Celtic’s new interim manager, Martin O’Neill, has named his first starting line-up since returning to the club following Brendan Rodgers’s departure.

The Hoops take on Falkirk at Parkhead as they look to get their league season back on track following back-to-back defeats.

But they are up against an in-form Bairns side who are undefeated in their last three and arrive in Glasgow on the back of victories over Motherwell and Dundee.

Rodgers resigned on Monday following a 3-1 loss at Tynecastle a day earlier that leaves then eight points behind Hearts at the top of the Premiership.

O’Neill, who previously managed the club between 2000-2005, and former player Shaun Maloney were announced as the caretaker management team on the same night.

They will take charge of the first-team until a new permanent manager is appointed and four changes have been made from the defeat at Tynecastle.

Reo Hatate, Kieran Tierney, Colby Donovan, and Dane Murray have all dropped out with James Forrest, Anthony Ralston, Dane Murray and Marcelo Sarrachi all coming in

The champions have started with Schmeichel in goals and a back-four of Ralston, Trusty, Scales, and Sarrachi.

Captain Callum McGregor anchors a three-man midfield beside Arne Engels and Benjamin Nygren with James Forrest and Seb Tounekti either side of Johnny Kenny up front.
