Celtic name lineup for Hibs friendly as Leigh Griffiths is included in squad

Neil Lennon has named Leigh Griffiths in his squad as Celtic play their second friendly at Celtic Park in the space of 24 hours.

They take on Jack Ross' Hibs, who finished seventh in the league last season.

Having drawn 1-1 with Nice, lost 2-0 to Lyon and been beaten 4-0 by PSG, Celtic returned to action in Scotland on Sunday with a 2-0 victory against Ross County.

Lennon fielded a strong side for that game, with captain Scott Brown returning after missing the PSG match.

The goals against Ross County came from Greg Taylor and Mo Elyounoussi.

The biggest news in today's lineup is that Griffiths has returned to the fold.

The striker has been named on the bench against his old side, after impressing Lennon with his improved fitness.

Griffiths had been left out of the squad that travelled to France after being out of shape when he returned to training.

Olivier Ntcham captains the side today.

TODAY'S FULL LINEUP

STARTING XI: Hazard, Ralston, Elhamed, Welsh, Mcinroy, Karamoko, Soro, Ntcham, Robertson, Henderson, Klimala

SUBS: Doohan, Griffiths, Connell

Celtic begin their defence of the Premiership title on Sunday when they welcome Hamilton Accies to Celtic Park.
