Celtic squad revealed as Ange Postecoglou must choose whether to follow up on pointed Kyogo reminder

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has several big team choices to make ahead of the Parkhead side's trip to Dundee.

The Premiership hopefuls will be flying high after a big Europa League win away to Ferencvaros but it wasn't plain sailing with a few injury issues to overcome from that Thursday night success over in Hungary.

Nir Bitton and Stephen Welsh both limped off, but it seems the Israeli was only suffering from cramp while young centre-back Welsh's ailment was to be assessed in the run-up to today's fixture.

Tom Rogic meanwhile will sit this one out while centre-back Carl Starfelt is already on the treatment table.

But it's at the other end of the pitch Postecoglou may wish to follow up on comments made before the European clash.

Defending his call to leave out star man Kyogo against Livingston in last weekend's 0-0 draw, he reminded fans he arrived at Celtic after playing three-quarters of a season in the J-League.

He said: "I know people want him out there all the time and he’s done fantastically well every time he’s played. We have to be careful as it’s just starting November. He can’t be just playing every game right through to April and May and perform at the top level."

The Dundee clash will be a test of Postecoglou's resolve and whether he feels comfortable leaving out the number eight again after such a mesmerising show in Budapest.
