Celtic announce lineup for Ross County friendly with Scott Brown returning

Scott Brown will return to action for Celtic today as Neil Lennon's side continue their pre-season preparations.

The captain missed his team's 4-0 defeat against PSG through injury, but starts in a strong lineup against fellow Premiership side Ross County today.

Despite suggestions on Saturday that he might be included, there is no place for Leigh Griffiths in the squad.

The likes of Odsonne Edouard and Callum McGregor are also included as Lennon's side continue a run of friendlies that has also seen them draw 1-1 against Nice and lose 2-0 to a Lyon side that featured Moussa Dembele.

The champions begin their bid for a historic tenth successive title on Sunday when they welcome Hamilton Accies to Celtic Park.

TODAY'S LINEUP

STARTING XI: Bain, Jullien, Taylor, Brown, Christie, Edouard, Elyounoussi, Frimpong, Ajer, McGregor, Forrest

SUBS: Hazard, Klimala, Connell, McInroy, Welsh, Karamoko

Today's game kicks off at 1pm.

Arsenal and Northern Ireland legend Terry Neill, meanwhile, has hailed Celtic's role in turning Kieran Tierney into a Premier League star.

The left-back won Arsenal's Player of the Month award for June, and Neill is quoted in Record Sport as saying: “He’s clearly been well-schooled at Celtic and he’s a credit to his family.

“It’s obvious that he didn’t get carried away by winning all those consecutive titles at Parkhead.

“We haven’t met yet but I’m looking forward to the day when that happens and establishing a connection between Belfast and Celtic!"
