Celtic team news vs Aberdeen revealed as John Kennedy hands Patryk Klimala a chance

Interim boss John Kennedy has named his Celtic team to face Aberdeen in his first game in charge.

The former Hoops defender is the main man now after Neil Lennon's exit earlier this week and has made some interesting choices in his team.

And he's made a big decision by handing a starting spot to Polish striker Patryk Klimala for the first time since the Europa League win over Lille in December.

He starts up front alongside Odsonne Edouard in what looks like a 4-4-2 diamond formation, with Ryan Christie playing in the 10 position.

Scott Brown begins in midfield alongside Callum McGregor and David Turnbull and there's also one change in defence.

Greg Taylor drops out with an injury and is replaced by Diego Laxalt, who starts alongside Jonjoe Kenny, Stephen Welsh and Kris Ajer.

Vasilis Barkas remains an absentee with Scott Bain starting in goals.

Teenager Adam Montgomery is handed a place on the bench.

Full team: Bain, Kenny, Welsh, Ajer, Laxalt, Brown, Turnbull, McGregor, Christie, Edouard, Klimala

Subs: Hazard, Duffy, Griffiths, Ajeti, Soro, Elyounoussi, Henderson, Montgomery, Ralston
