Team News: Virgil van Dijk returns for Celtic

Celtic make two changes for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier with Stjarnan, including welcoming Virgil van Dijk back from suspension.

Virgil van Dijk has been recalled into the starting lineup for Celtic's trip to face Stjarnan in a Champions League qualifier this evening.

The Dutch defender missed his side's 2-0 victory in the first leg last week due to a suspension carried over from last season, but is restored to the XI today in one of just two changes from manager Ronny Deila.

Emilio Izaguirre is the man to make way for the visitors, while James Forrest also only makes the bench as Gary Mackay-Steven is given the nod.

Nadir Ciftci leads the line despite picking up a lengthy domestic ban earlier this week, meaning that Leigh Griffiths, who missed a penalty in the first leg, again has to settle for a place on the bench despite netting a hat-trick in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

The Icelandic hosts also make two changes to their side as Pablo Punyed and Thorri Runarsson replace Atli Johannsson and Halldor Bjornsson.

Stjarnan: Nielsen; Arnason, Gudjonsson, Laxdal, Praest; Punyed, Runarsson, Aegisson, Bjorgvinsson; Hansen, Finsen
Subs: J Laxdal, Gunnarsson, Barddal, Palsson, Knutsson, Bjornsson, Johannesson

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