Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is expected to make two changes for Thursday's Europa League clash with Benfica at the Estadio da Luz, with record signing Kasper Hogh keeping his place up front despite a seven-game goal drought.
The Scottish champions travel to Lisbon on the back of a 2-0 win at Motherwell that ended a three-game losing streak. However, Benfica have won nine of their first 10 games this season, with their only defeat coming against Porto.
Defensive reshuffle
O'Neill is likely to stick with the 4-3-3 formation that proved effective at Fir Park. Viljami Sinisalo, who celebrated his 25th birthday on Sunday with a clean sheet, is expected to continue in goal ahead of Sam Johnstone.
In defence, Cameron Carter-Vickers remains sidelined with a strain, so O'Neill is expected to bring Auston Trusty in for Dane Murray. The 23-year-old Murray was caught napping on a couple of occasions against Motherwell, and Trusty's European experience could be crucial against Benfica's attack.
Colby Donovan and Kieran Tierney are set to occupy the full-back positions, with captain Callum McGregor anchoring the midfield.
Midfield and attack
New Germany cap Mika Baur, the £6.8 million summer signing from Paderborn, is expected to operate further forward after another man-of-the-match display at the weekend. Benjamin Nygren, who scored his sixth goal of the campaign at Fir Park, is also set to start.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is available after serving a three-game UEFA ban, while Oliver Sorensen is another option after a difficult outing against Ferencvaros. However, the biggest question is whether Kasper Hogh starts up front.
The £11 million record signing has gone seven games without a goal, but O'Neill knows what the Dane can do after his performances for Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League last season. Keeping Hogh through the middle would keep Camilo Duran on the right, with Sebastien Tounekti expected to start on the left ahead of Haissem Hassan.
Hassan has shown flashes of quality since his summer move from Real Oviedo, but his defensive work remains a concern. Jota, who returned to Celtic in the summer, has not been included in the Europa League squad.
Predicted Celtic XI: Sinisalo; Donovan, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Baur, Nygren; Duran, Hogh, Tounekti.
