ANGE POSTECOGLOU has named his Celtic starting XI to take on Motherwell this afternoon.
The Hoops make the short trip through to Lanarkshire this afternoon for the 3pm kick-off.
And they will be aiming to keep pressure on the teams above them - including their hosts - by winning three points at Fir Park.
Postecoglou revealed his delight that there were no fresh injury concerns following the most recent international break.
And the Aussie has been able to name a strong starting XI for what is sure to be a tough encounter.
There is another shock start for Boli Bolingoli. He was drafted in from the cold in the defeat to Livingston, and he is preferred to Liam Scales at left-back, with Adam Montgomery not in the matchday squad.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
