Henriksson in for Massengo (assuming he's close to match fit) but I would think Benkovic and Wells will be on the bench

The commentators seemed to think that Weimann was carrying a knock so he could drop for Wells. I think Pereira will play instead of Hunt. Benkovic playing will depend on whether Baker’s knock is worse than it looked and whether a back 3 might be deployed.

Job well done

Benkovic has all the makings of a top class CB, good with the ball at his feet & very strong in the air. Celtic used him up front a few times late in games when chasing a game & he looked very strong. Playing on artificial turf in Scotland was not good for his knees but it sounds like he is fit & now needs meaningful game time.

Celtic in denial (apparently every player they don't get, they couldn't have been interested in);

They could have offered him European football and a historic 9th title in a row....yes mate, but you'll be out of Europe in double quick time and playing very weak teams in front of 4,700 or less (like today) every other week isn't exactly a step up from the Championship. Make no mistake, Celtic were in for him but he chose here as did Leicester for the obvious reason that he'll be better tested in this league.
