Celtic winger Aleksandar Tonev will start tonight's Europa League Group D clash against Astra Giurgiu on the bench after he was given a seven-match domestic ban for racially abusing Aberdeen's Shay Logan.
Tonev's hopes of starting were boosted when Anthony Stokes was forced home with a sore throat, but the Aston Villa loanee has failed to make the first XI.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon will start for the Scottish outfit, despite missing last weekend's action with a knee injury, while Serbian forward Stefan Scepovic will lead the line up front.
Leigh Griffiths has been named on the bench by manager Ronny Deila.
Astra Giurgui XI: Lung; Ben Youssef, Junior Morais, Oros, Pliatsikas; Joaozinho, Yahaya, Enache, Laban; Budescu, Bukar
Celtic XI Gordon; Lustig, Denayer, van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Mulgrew; McGregor, Johansen, Wakaso; Scepovic
