Celtic team news v Preston revealed as Liel Abada named among subs by Ange Postecoglou

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou named his team to face Preston North End in the final game before their Champions League campaign begins.

The Aussie boss is still getting his squad ready for Tuesday night's clash against Midtjylland at Celtic Park but his side still isn't at full strength.

Vasilis Barkas has recovered from the injury picked up on Wednesday night against Bristol City and there's a place on the bench for new boy Liel Abada.

It's a makeshift back four with Anthony Ralston at right back and Osaze Urhoghide alongside Stephen Welsh at centre back. Greg Taylor starts at left back and it's a midfield three of Liam Shaw, Callum McGregor and David Turnbull.

Albian Ajeti leads the line again with Owen Moffat and Adam Montgomery on either side and it's a strong bench for Celtic.

He's named the likes of Abada as well as Tom Rogic, Odsonne Edouard and Boli Bolingoli, as well as highly-rated youngsters Leo Hjelde and Scott Robertson.

Celtic: Barkas, Ralston, Urhoghide, Welsh, Taylor, Shaw, McGregor, Moffat, Turnbull, Montgomery, Ajeti

Subs: Bain, Abada, Rogic, Edouard, Bolingoli, Afolabi, O’Connor, Coffey, Robertson, Murray, Henderson, Hjelde
