Brendan Rodgers names Celtic team to face Hibs as Bernardo starts

Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic starting XI to face Hibs at Easter Road.

The Parkhead boss leads his side to the capital this afternoon in search of three points.

And Rodgers' men are aiming to do the double over Edinburgh clubs in consecutive weeks after a convincing 4-1 triumph over Hearts at Tynecastle last Sunday.

Nick Montgomery, however, is intent on bouncing back from a heavy loss to Rangers at Ibrox last time out and take learning from that match into this afternoon.

Joe Hart starts in goal with Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor in defence.

Callum McGregor is partnered in midfield by Paulo Bernardo and Matt O'Riley. 

Luis Palma, Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi are the front-three.

CELTIC XI: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, Bernardo, O'Riley, Palma, Maeda, Kyogo.

SUBS: Bain, Phillips, Yang, Turnbull, Oh, Tomoki, Forrest, Ralston, Johnston.

HIBS XI: Marshall, Miller, Fish, Youan, Vente, Boyle, Newell, Jeggo, Obita, Jair, Rocky.

SUBS: Wollacott, Hanlon, Levitt, Stevenson, Le Fondre, Delferriere, Campbell, Whittaker, Landers.
