Celtic line-up vs Rangers revealed as Neil Lennon makes bold Scott Brown decision for derby day

Neil Lennon has named his Celtic line-up to face Rangers at Ibrox this afternoon.

The Parkhead side are looking to claw back their rivals at the top of the Premiership in the second Old Firm derby of the season.

And the Northern Irishman has made one change from the side who won 3-0 against Dundee United on Wednesday night.

Scott Brown has been on the bench in recent weeks due to the outstanding form of Ismaila Soro.

And Lennon has opted to name the skipper as a sub as the Ivorian gets the nod against the Light Blues.

Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths are rounding into form at the right time and the strikers keep their place in the side as Celtic set up with two up front.

Christopher Jullien was a doubt for the game as he collided with the goal post against Mickey Mellon's men, but he has not recovered in time as Nir Bitton starts at the back.

Celtic XI: Barkas, Ajer, Frimpong, Laxalt, Bitton, Soro, Turnbull, McGregor, Christie, Edouard, Griffiths.

Subs: Hazard, Taylor, Duffy, Rogic, Ntcham, Ajeti, Elyounoussi, Brown, Elhamed.
