How should Celtic line up vs KR Reykjavik as Neil Lennon faces tactical decision - pick your team

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has had plenty of time to digest his side's 1-1 draw at Kilmarnock more than a week ago.

The Hoops suffered a disappointing display at Rugby Park, before Boli Bolingoli's coronavirus breach resulted in their next two league games against St Mirren and Aberdeen being called off.

It means they should be well rested ahead of their Champions League first round qualifier against KR Reykjavik.

Lennon will be looking for a reaction from his players, but that Killie performance will have given him some food for thought in how he'll set up his team.

Celtic have adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation to start the season, but when they were looking for a winner against Alex Dyer's men, the Hoops brought on Hatem Abd Elhamed and Patryk Klimala and changed to a 3-5-2.

It didn't quite work out on that occasion, but it's something Lennon could turn to once again. It seems like it will be his preferred set-up for the season ahead after the addition of Albian Ajeti from West Ham and speculation of a move for Shane Duffy.

Ajeti is included in tonight's squad and could make his debut at some point, but it would be a surprise if he was included in the starting XI.
