Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has named his starting 11 to face Kilmarnock this evening at Rugby Park, with the Hoops on the verge of a third successive Scottish Premiership title.

The Irishman has made one change, with a notable player on the bench in a surprising omission from the team to start the game.

Whether Kyogo Furuhashi has picked up an injury remains to be seen, but he will likely play some part off the bench, with Adam Idah given the nod to start.

The Irishman’s physicality may have been a factor in Rodgers’ decision-making.

The rest of Celtic’s squad picks itself, with Joe Hart starting his second-to-last league game for Celtic.

Alistair Johnston has shrugged off a knock after a horror tackle from John Lundstram, which saw him substituted in the second half of the game.

Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales continue their partnership at the heart of the defense despite some nervy moments from Scales throughout the season.

Greg Taylor caps off the back four and will look to put in an impressive display against his former side, as he still hasn’t signed a new deal with Celtic.

Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley, and Reo Hatate continue in the engine room, with O’Riley and McGregor stealing the show on Saturday.

Hatate will look to step up this evening and seal the league title for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

James Forrest and Daizen Maeda make up two-thirds of the front three, with each player showing against Rangers why they are the first choice on the right and left wing, respectively.
