Celtic team news revealed as John Kennedy names side and James Forrest returns

Interim boss John Kennedy has named his Celtic team to face Dundee United in a must-win game.

The Hoops have to take all three points to stop Rangers clinching the title today and take it into the Old Firm game in two weeks at least.

And Kennedy has made just one change to the side that beat Aberdeen last week with Polish striker Patryk Klimala dropping to the bench.

He's replaced up front by Moi Elyounoussi as Celtic try to ensure they take the title race further into March.

There is a boost there, too, with James Forrest returning to the squad.

Vasilis Barkas is back from injury but is on the bench so Scott Bain continues in goal.

The defence is the same as last week with Jonjoe Kenny at right back, Kristoffer Ajer and Stephen Welsh in the middle and Diego Laxalt at left back.

The midfield diamond continues with Scott Brown at the base, David Turnbull and Callum McGregor in front and Ryan Christie in the No. 10 position.

Odsonne Edouard partners Elyounoussi and will hope to add to his nine goals in his last nine games.

FULL TEAM: Bain, Kenny, Ajer, Welsh, Laxalt, Brown, Turnbull, McGregor, Christie, Edouard, Elyounoussi

Subs: Barkas, Duffy, Griffihs, Ajeti, Klimala, Soro, Rogic, Forrest, Montgomery.
