Celtic team news as Ange Postecoglou names side to face Banik Ostrava

Celtic team news as Ange Postecoglou names side to face Banik Ostrava

CELTIC continue their pre-season schedule this afternoon with a friendly against Banik Ostrava.

The Czech outfit finished fifth in their domestic league last season and are the third team to face Ange Postecoglou's men this summer, after Wiener Viktoria were defeated 7-0 a week ago.

The Premiership champions played out a 3-3 draw with Rapid Vienna on Saturday and Postecoglou has made five changes to his starting line-up.

Joe Hart holds onto his place in goal while Stephen Welsh and Cameron Carter-Vickers have retained their places in central defence. Josip Juranovic and Greg Taylor have come in for Osaze Urhogide and Alexandro Bernabei respectively.

Callum McGregor and Matt O'Riley hold onto their spots in midfield while Reo Hatate drops to the bench, with David Turnbull being given the nod.

Jota once again starts on the left wing, James Forrest comes in on the right and Kyogo Furuhashi replaces Giorgos Giakoumakis at centre-forward.
