Fringe players axed in Rodgers 4-4-2: Celtic best possible XI v Anderlecht
GOALKEEPER AND DEFENCE
Craig Gordon (Goalkeeper) – Not everybody’s favourite player but must be chosen over Dorus de Vries for the reason that he’s had far more game time this season
Kieran Tierney (Left-back) – One of the most exciting young prospects in Europe, watch him rampage down the wing in attack and be solid in the challenge in defence
Jozo Simunovic (Centre-half) – Probably the best defender on the books at Parkhead, has been injury prone at times but when fit he provides a solidity that most of his team-mates in that position lack
Dedryck Boyata (Centre-half) – Can be casual at times but has formed a solid partnership with Simunovic, also liable to pop up at times with a vital goal at the other end of the park
Mikael Lustig (Right-back) – Almost as attack minded as Tierney is, can provide a good cross and has scored some goals this season, dependable in defence as well
