Celtic Starting XI vs Kilmarnock: Jota Starts, Three Changes

Martin O’Neill has named his Celtic starting XI to face Kilmarnock at Celtic Park this afternoon.

The Hoops return to Premiership action looking to build on Thursday night’s dramatic 3-2 Europa League victory over Beşiktaş.

That result provided a much-needed lift following last weekend’s disappointing 2-0 defeat away to Falkirk, with Celtic now looking to get back to winning ways domestically before the international break.

O’Neill has several decisions to make ahead of the 4pm kick-off.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is the main fitness concern after complaining of hamstring tightness during the win over Beşiktaş.

The American defender felt the problem at half-time but continued before eventually being replaced by Dane Murray after 78 minutes.

Alistair Johnston remains unavailable following his latest hamstring setback, leaving Colby Donovan and Jordan Lotomba as the main options at right-back.

Donovan has been a regular feature this season, appearing in all 12 of Celtic’s Premiership matches heading into today’s game.

There is more positive news further forward.

Yang Hyun-jun has returned to training after his hamstring injury, while Jota was also involved at Lennoxtown ahead of the match and is available for domestic selection.

O’Neill also has decisions to make in attack following the impact of his substitutes against Beşiktaş.

Camilo Durán came off the bench to score twice in Thursday’s victory, taking his tally to 13 goals in all competitions this season.

Callum Osmand also made an immediate impact after being introduced, scoring Celtic’s equaliser before Durán completed the comeback.

Kasper Høgh, Benjamin Nygren, Sebastian Tounekti, Haissem Hassan and James Forrest are among the other attacking options available to O’Neill.

Celtic now have the opportunity to respond to Rangers’ victory and head into the international break with their lead at the top of the Premiership restored to four points.

Here is the Celtic starting XI to face Kilmarnock:
