Brendan Rodgers makes Celtic team selection vow for final three league games

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says there will be several changes to his team for the final three league games of the campaign. 

The Parkhead side wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title just under a fortnight ago by thrashing Dundee United 5-0 at Tannadice. 

They then followed that up with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox last Sunday, when Adam Idah's second-half strike cancelled out Cyriel Dessers' opener.

Celtic now have three league games to go before the campaign is out. They firstly welcome Hibernian to Glasgow's east end this weekend before travelling to face Aberdeen midweek. St Mirren then make the short trip to Parkhead on trophy day. 

Rodgers will shuffle his pack for the remaining Premiership matches. "Over the course of the next three games, in particular the next two games, there will be lots of changes, players that I want to give an opportunity to, players that deserve the opportunity to play," said the Celtic manager. 

"Certainly, over the course of the next week, there will be changes in the team. 

"I'll give the opportunity to players to play. I'm one as well, sometimes, I like to judge players away from home. It's nice when they can play at home in front of 60-odd thousand, but it's also, for me, being a Celtic player is also how you can cope away from home. I'll definitely do that in the next three games."

Rodgers also provided an update on several of his crocked stars going into this weekend, with Kasper Schmeichel and Nicolas Kuhn back in contention to play. Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston, however, remain on the sidelines.
