Celtic team v Riga confirmed as Odsonne Edouard returns to starting line-up

Odsonne Edouard is back in the Celtic starting line-up for tonight's Europa League clash with Riga.

Edouard, James Forrest and Nir Bitton come into the team with Neil Lennon making three changes from the side which overcame Livingston at the weekend.

Jeremie Frimpong, Hatem Abd Elhamed and Albian Ajeti drop out.

Vasilis Barkas gets the not in goal and it looks like a back three of Shane Duffy, Kris Ajer and Bitton, with Forrest and Greg Taylor at wing-back.

Scott Brown, Olivier Ntcham and Callum McGregor will play in midfield with Ryan Christie just off Edouard.

Celtic line up as follows: Barkas, Taylor, Duffy, Bitton, Brown, Christie, Ntcham, Edouard, Ajer, McGregor, Forrest.

Subs: Bain, Ajeti, Klimala, Turnbull, Elyounoussi, Frimpong, Elhamed.

A victory this evening would ensure the Scottish champions progress into next week's play-off round, where they could face either FK Sarajevo or Budućnost Podgorica.

The match gets underway at the Skonto Stadium at 6pm. We'll have all the key updates and reaction covered on our live blog.
