Team News: Leigh Griffiths on bench for Celtic

Leigh Griffiths drops to the bench for the second leg of Celtic's Champions League third-round qualifier away to Qarabag FK.

Leigh Griffiths has been named on the bench for the second leg of Celtic's Champions League third-round qualifier away to Qarabag FK.

The Scottish champions face their Azerbaijani counterparts having earned a narrow 1-0 victory in Glasgow last week.

Celtic boss Ronny Deila has made a total of four changes after seeing his side beat Ross County 2-0 in their opening match of the new Scottish Premiership season.

Griffiths, who suffered a hamstring strain in that game, has been replaced by Nadir Ciftci up front, while Mikael Lustig, Emilio Izaguirre and Nir Bitton have all been included in the starting XI.

Qarabag: Sehic; Garayev, Sadygov, Agolli, Huseynov; Reynald, Quintana, Gurbanov, Almedia; El Jadeyaoui, Poepon
Subs: Veliyev, Mustafayev, Ismayilov, Diniyev, Taghiyev, Elvin Mammadov, Yunuszada

Celtic: Gordon; Lustig, Boyata, van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Bitton; Mackay-Steven, Johansen, Armstrong; Ciftci
Subs: Ambrose, Griffiths, Commons, Rogic, Janko, Bailly, Forrest
