Celtic team news v Jablonec revealed as Joe Hart is handed debut and Ange Postecoglou makes huge striker call

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has named his team to face Jablonec in the Europa League.

The Hoops are in the Czech Republic for the first leg of the third round qualifier and Postecoglou is hoping he can get the first competitive win of his Celtic career.

The Hoops have lost two and drawn one of his three games in charge but will be hoping to have more success in the Europa League after crashing out of the Champions League.

And now Celtic have handed a debut to Joe Hart after the disappointing performances of Vasilis Barkas and Scott Bain in games so far this season.

Hart joined on Tuesday and flew straight to the Czech Republic to take part in the game and he revealed his excitement about playing.

His first task will be a clean sheet in the Czech Republic tonight before the return leg in Glasgow.

The other big news is that odsonne Edouard is dropped and replace din attack by Japanese new boy Kyogo Furuhashi.

Carl Starfelt keeps his place despite a less than convincing first outing at Tynecastle last weekend. Along with Hart, he was included in the match squad submitted to UEFA as a wild card entry after the deadline.

Celtic: Hart, Ralston, Bitton, Starfelt, Taylor, Soro, McGregor, Turnbull, Abada, Furuhashi, Forrest.

Subs: Barkas, Bain, Ajeti, Christie, Rogic, Edouard, Urhoghide, Robertson, Murray, Montgomery, Welsh.
