Midtjylland v Celtic: Martin O'Neill names starting team for Europa League clash

Martin O’Neill has named his starting line-up for Celtic’s Europa League game in Denmark.

The Hoops take on league phase leaders Midtjylland in matchday four of the continent’s second-tier competition.

Celtic have four points from their first three games after a draw in Belgrade was followed up with a home defeat to Braga and comeback 2-1 win over Sturm Graz.

O’Neill, who replaced former manager Brendan Rodgers on an interim basis just over a week ago, is taking charge of his first European game with Celtic since a 0-0 Champions League draw with AC Milan in 2004.

The 73-year-old, who led Celtic to a UEFA Cup final in his last spell at Parkhead, returned to the dugout for the first time in last week’s 4-0 win over Falkirk and followed that up with a 3-1 victory in Sunday’s League Cup semi-final against Rangers.

He will now be hoping to make it three wins out of three against an in-form Danes.

They have made two changes from the team that started at Hampden on Sunday, with Kieran Tierney and James Forrest coming into the team in the place of Marcelo Saracchi and Daizen Maeda who drop to the bench

Celtic start the game with Kasper Schmeichel in goals behind a back four of Anthony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales and Tierney.
