Celtic line-up vs Ross County revealed as Neil Lennon makes wholesale changes and drops star man

Neil Lennon has named his starting XI to face Ross County as they begin the defence of their Betfred Cup.

The Celtic manager has made four changes from the 4-1 defeat to Sparta Prague as they were knocked out of the Europa League.

Vasilis Barkas has replaced Scott Bain in goals while Tom Rogic, Nir Bitton and Albian Ajeti come into the side.

Christopher Jullien returned from injury against the Czech side and the Frenchman will look to get another 90 minutes under his belt as he gets up to speed.

Odsonne Edouard is starting to show some form after his brilliant solo goal against Sparta and the talisman has kept his place in the side as he partners Ajeti up top.

Mohamed Elyounoussi, Olvier Ntcham and Callum McGregor all drop to the bench.

Celtic XI: Barkas, Jullien, Elhamed, Ajer, Laxalt, Rogic, Bitton, Brown, Christie, Edouard, Ajeti.

Bench: Bain, Taylor, Duffy, Klimala, Ntcham, Elyounoussi, McGregor, Henderson, Ralston.
