Celtic line-up vs Aberdeen revealed as Kris Ajer missing from squad


John Kennedy has named his Celtic team to face Aberdeen on Wednesday night.

The Parkhead interim boss has made two changes from their disappointing defeat to Rangers in the Scottish Cup at the weekend.

Greg Taylor replaces Diego Laxalt who was hooked at half-time against the Ibrox side, while Nir Bitton comes in for Kris Ajer who is missing from the squad.

Kennedy insisted his side are still motivated to finish the season strong despite having nothing to play for the rest of the way.

He said Celtic's misfiring stars are 'playing for their futures' in the remaining four Premiership games.

But the Dons will be confident they can pile more misery on the Hoops under new boss Stephen Glass.

Celtic starting XI: Bain, Taylor, Bitton, Welsh, Brown, Turnbull, Kenny, Christie, Edouard, Elyounoussi, McGregor.

Subs: Hazard, Griffiths, Soro, Rogic, Murray, Montgomery, Ralston, Dembele, Laxalt.
