Martin O’Neill has named his Celtic starting XI to face Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership at the Falkirk Stadium this afternoon.

The Hoops head into Sunday’s encounter looking to return to winning ways following Wednesday night’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Dundee United at Celtic Park.

Celtic required a late equaliser from Liam Scales to rescue a point after Camilo Durán had given O’Neill’s side the lead.

Rangers are not involved in league action this weekend after reaching the Premier Sports Cup final, giving Celtic the chance to strengthen their position at the summit.

However, Falkirk will provide a difficult test after enjoying an impressive run of results.

John McGlynn’s side have won their last three Premiership matches against Hibernian, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, climbing into the top six.

The Bairns have also recorded consecutive clean sheets and will be looking to continue that momentum in front of their home supporters.O’Neill has faced several selection decisions following the draw with Dundee United, particularly in attacking areas.

The Celtic manager acknowledged concerns raised by Callum McGregor over the use of natural centre-forwards in wide positions.

Both Callum Osmand and Camilo Durán have featured on the flanks despite being more comfortable in central attacking roles.

Jota and Haissem Hassan offered Celtic greater width after coming off the bench on Wednesday, giving O’Neill alternatives as he looks to improve his side’s attacking balance.

Alistair Johnston remains unavailable after suffering further hamstring discomfort during his recent comeback against Hibernian.

Yang Hyun-jun is also absent, although O’Neill confirmed the winger is expected to return to training on Monday.

Dane Murray is another player hoping to retain his place in the Celtic defence after enjoying his longest consistent run in the first team.

Celtic won the previous meeting between the sides 2-1 at Parkhead in August, with Durán scoring both goals.
