27-year-old axed in three changes to Rodgers 3-5-2: Celtic best possible XI v Ross County

MIDFIELD

Celtic

James Forrest (Left-wing) – Should keep his place in the side despite some recent poor performances by the high standard he has set this season, still a hugely important player for the Hoops

Scott Brown (Central-midfield) – Will be hoping for a much quieter day than he had in his last game against Motherwell, should be able to bully the Ross County midfield without many problems

Olivier Ntcham (Central-midfield) – The 22-year-old Frenchman should maintain his midfield partnership with Brown, which usually leads the Hoops to victory when it clicks into gear

Tom Rogic (Attacking-midfield) – Should keep his place in the side as he was one of the few players that looked like causing Motherwell any problems as the Hoops started to run out of ideas

Patrick Roberts (Right-wing) – Should replace Callum McGregor, the Englishman showed enough in his cameo against Motherwell that a first-start of 2018 seems long overdue for the 21-year-old
