Ange Postecoglou names Celtic starting XI to face Blackburn Rovers

Ange Postecoglou names Celtic staring XI to face Blackburn Rovers in friendly

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has named his Celtic starting line-up to take on Blackburn Rovers this afternoon.

The Hoops meet the Championship side side in a pre-season friendly match in Glasgow's east end this lunchtime.

It's the first game back at Parkhead for the Scottish champions since they lifted the title back in May.

The game will give fans the opportunity to see some new faces in the team, such as Alexandro Bernabei and Benji Siegrist.

Celtic returned from their warm-weather training camp in Austria earlier this week.

And with that work behind them, this is the team Postecoglou has selected to face Rovers, for the first half at least.

CELTIC XI: Hart, Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Welsh, Taylor, McGregor, O'Riley, Turnbull, Abada, Jota, Kyogo

Subs: Bain, Siegrist, Oluwayemi, Jullien, McCarthy, Johnston, Ideguchi, Kenny, Bernabei, Urhoghide, Maeda, Forrest, Lawal, Ralston, Vata

BLACKBURN XI: Kaminski, Carter, Ayala, S.Wharton, Pickering, Travis, Buckley, Gallagher, Dolan, Brereton Diaz, Vale

Subs: Pears, Hilton, Magloire, Barnes, Phillips, Rankin-Costello, Edun, Garrett, A.Wharton, Hedges, Harlock, Markandy, Leonard, Butterworth
