Team News: Nadir Ciftci, Dedryck Boyata handed Celtic debuts

Nadir Ciftci and Dedryck Boyata are both handed competitive debuts for Celtic's Champions League qualifier against Icelandic minnows Stjarnan.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila has handed competitive debuts to both Nadir Ciftci and Dedryck Boyata for this evening's Champions League qualifier against Stjarnan.

Ciftci only joined the club from Dundee United six days ago, but he is named as a lone striker as the Bhoys look to give themselves a healthy first-leg lead in their second qualifying round tie.

Boyata, meanwhile, slots in at centre-back alongside Charlie Mulgrew, while skipper Scott Brown will patrol the centre of the park against the Icelandic minnows.

Gary Mackay-Steven also continues on the wing for the hosts having found the net in all three of Celtic's pre-season games.

Stjarnan, meanwhile, have Danish striker Jeppe Hansen leading the line for their Champions League bow.

Celtic: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, Mulgrew, Izaguirre; Brown, Bitton; Mackay-Steven, Johansen, Armstrong; Ciftci
Subs: Ambrose, Stokes, Fisher, Griffiths, Rogic, Bailly, Forrest

Stjarnan: Nielsen; Bjornsson, Gudjonsson, D Laxdal, Arnason; Bjornsson, Praest, Johannsson, Bjorgvinsson; Finsen; Hansen
Subs: J Laxdal, Runarsson, Gunnarsson, Barddal, Knutsson, Johannesson, Palsson
