Martin O\u2019Neill has named his Celtic team for this afternoon\u2019s Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee United. The Irishman returns as Celtic manager for a third spell after the disastrous 33 day reign of Wilfried Nancy. <\/p>\n
O\u2019Neill has gone for a back four banishing the wild tactics of Nancy\u2019s 3-4-3. There is a recall to the team for returning Sebastian Tounekti. <\/p>\n
There are no real surprises beyond the Tunisian coming back into the squad. It looks like the preferred 4-2-3-1 lineup that MON utilised in his successful interim spell pre Nancy. <\/p>\n
In goals, Kasper Schmeichel starts. <\/p>\n
In defence, Julian Araujo starts at right back with Kieran Tierney in the left back berth. A central pairing of Auston Trusty and Liam Scales starts. <\/p>\n
In midfield, Callum McGregor captains the side with Arne Engels starting beside the skipper. Reo Hatate starts in the forward midfield role. <\/p>\n
In attack, Sebastian Tounekti starts out left with Yang on the right leaving Daizen Maeda through the middle to lead the line. <\/p>\n
