Celtic expected XI v Partick: Moussa Dembele misses out yet again
GOALKEEPER AND DEFENDERS
Craig Gordon (Goalkeeper) – Has helped the Hoops to six clean sheets despite not being everyone’s cup of tea, was superb in the last league game against Rangers in December
Mikael Lustig (Right-back) – Two assists against Brechin may well show a player who is returning to form after a poor spell prior to the winter break where he looked exhausted
Kristoffer Ajer (Centre-back) – The teenager is expected to keep his place in the side as he is currently one of the best defenders at the club even though as a 19-year-old he still has a lot to learn
Dedryck Boyata (Centre-back) – Very likely to have been replaced by Marvin Compper but he is injured, expected that his partnership with Ajer will continue for a while yet
Kieran Tierney (Left-back) – Will be hoping that the Hoops sign another left-back during the transfer window as he is need of a break at some stage this season, still in good form though
