Elyounoussi in, Ntcham out - Celtic fans want Neil Lennon to give out of favour star a chance vs Riga

Celtic fans want to see Mohamed Elyounoussi back in the fold for tonight's Europa League clash against Riga.

The winger has fallen out of favour in recent weeks as Neil Lennon has changed to a three at the back following the arrival of Shane Duffy.

That has meant the likes of Jeremie Frimpong and Greg Taylor have occupied the wide areas at full-back - a position which isn't best suited to Elyounoussi, who likes to be further up the pitch.

But Celtic fans would like to see the Southampton loanee come back into the starting line-up for the third round qualifier.

Odsonne Edouard, who has been nursing an injury recently, has also been tipped to return to the side parterning Albian Ajeti who scored against Livingston at the weekend.

Supporters want to see Vasilis Barkas in goal with a back three of Kris Ajer, Hatem Abd Elhamed and Duffy.

A midfield five of Ryan Christie, Scott Brown, Callum McGregor, Frimpong and Elyounoussi, with Edouard and Ajeti up top.

Celtic XI fans want to see vs Riga: Barkas, Ajer, Duffy, Elhamed, McGregor, Brown, Christie, Frimpong, Elyounoussi, Ajeti, Edouard.
