- Nick Montgomery made two changes from the Hibernian team that battled back to claim a 2-2 draw in the Edinburgh derby against Hearts prior to the international break, before they were thumped 4-0 by Rangers at Ibrox last Saturday.
- Paul Hanlon replaced Rocky Bushiri in the backline in order to join Lewis Miller, Will Fish and Jordan Obita in front of David Marshall. Élie Youan and Martin Boyle started on the flanks, with Joe Newell and Jimmy Jeggo in midfield.
- The only other alteration saw Adam Le Fondre given the nod to start in attack, partnering Dylan Vente as Christian Doidge had to settle for a spot among the substitutes in Govan in the Hibees' first match after the international break.
- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named an unchanged Celts side that brushed Hearts aside 4-1 at Tynecastle, before the Hoops were held at home 2-2 in their midweek match against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
- Joe Hart continued in goal behind a back four of Alastair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor. Club captain Callum McGregor was joined by Matt O'Riley and Reo Hatate in the middle of the park.
- Luis Palma and Daizen Maeda began on the flanks, both in support of main marksman Kyogo Furuhashi. The Japanese forward has netted in both Celtic matches since returning after the international break.
