Celtic vs Atletico Madrid team news as Brendan Rodgers names starting XI

Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic starting XI to take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

The Hoops are aiming to record a first group stage victory in ten years when they take on Diego Simeone's side at Parkhead this evening.

Defeats to Feyenoord and Lazio in their opening group matches have put Celtic in a tough position and they simply need to win tonight to have any chance of progressing in Europe past Christmas.

Celtic: Hart, A. Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, O'Riley, Hatate, Maeda, Palma, Kyogo

Subs: Bain, Morrison, Lagerbielke, Phillips, Yang, Turnbull, Oh, Tomoki, Bernardo, Forrest, Ralston, M. Johnston

Atletico: Oblak, De Paul, Koke, Griezman, Saul Niguez, Savic, Molina, Galan, Morata, Witsel, Hermoso

Subs: Grbic, Antonio Gomis, Azpilicueta, Caglar Soyuncu, Correa, Marcos Llorente, Barrios, Riquelme
