23-year-old axed in two changes: Celtic best possible XI v Kilmarnock
GOALKEEPER AND DEFENCE
Dorus de Vries (Goalkeeper) – Craig Gordons’ successor until the Scotland international returns from injury, the arrival of Scott Bain could put him under some pressure but he will keep the gloves for now
Cristian Gamboa (Right-back) – The Hoops need a natural right-back whilst Mikael Lusig is out, and this is the ideal candidate. Should replace axed 23-year-old Jozo Simunovic as the Bhoys revert back to a four at the back
Kristoffer Ajer (Centre-back) – The best defender at the club right now? Quite possibly, the Norwegian has the chance to resurrect his partnership with Boyata
Dedryck Boyata (Centre-back) – Quite possibly Brendan Rodgers’ favourite player in the Hoops defence, has been a mainstay even his performances haven’t always been great
Kieran Tierney (Left-back) – Back in his normal position after his sojourn further forward against Hearts, he is such a force going forward that he will spend as much time attacking as defending
