Celtic have already played out two friendlies this summer, beating Queen's Park 1-0 last Friday before Colby Donovan's late header sealed a 2-1 victory over Cork City in Ireland on Tuesday. 

For today's match, which kicks off at 11am, several senior players have returned to the ranks and are available for selection. 

From midweek at Pairc Ui Chaoimh, Rodgers has made five changes to his lineup this morning.
