Celtic squad revealed as Tom Rogic set for major role in starting line-up fans have been craving

Interim Celtic boss John Kennedy has a strong squad available. Odsonne Edouard was rested for the Scottish Cup win over Falkirk and could return.

Tom Rogic was back to his mercurial best in the cup cruise against the Bairns and his form and the return of James Forrest allows John Kennedy a formation flexibility that has been missing since the winger hobbled off against Sarajevo.

That could see a return of the 4-3-3 that was the preferred formation to start the season and worked so well in last season's Europa League.

Mohamed Elyounoussi has been in red-hot form and he could start on the left of a front three alongside Edouard and Forrest.

Rogic could get the nod ahead of Ryan Christie despite the midfielder silencing Falkirk's social media team with a good finish after their cheeky tweet regarding his success rate from long distance.

David Turnbull has been in good form and he will be in the mix for a starting berth alongside Celtic skipper Scott Brown and Callum McGregor.

Livingston have no fresh injuries for the trip to Glasgow. left-back Julien Serrano is still struggling with a knock while Scott Robinson is out of favour following a disciplinary issue.
