Artur Boruc and Paul Hartley both returned to Celtic’s starting line-up for the Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk at Parkhead.

Poland goalkeeper Boruc pulled out of Saturday’s 3-0 win over Aberdeen with a toe problem minutes before kick-off but he was listed in the team, with Mark Brown returning to the bench.

Hartley also made his comeback after being floored by a virus at the weekend and Massimo Donati had to settle for a place on the bench.

Shakhtar boss Mircea Lucescu started with front pair Cristiano Lucarelli and Brandao as he looked to get at least a point, which would put his side in the driving seat to qualify for the last 16.

Celtic: Boruc, Caldwell, Kennedy, McManus, Naylor, McGeady, Scott Brown, Hartley, Jarosik, McDonald, Vennegoor of Hesselink.

Subs: Mark Brown, Zurawski, Sno, Pressley, Donati, Killen, Caddis.

Shakhtar Donetsk: Pyatov, Srna, Chigrinsky, Kucher, Rat, Ilsinho, Hubschman, Lewandowski, Jadson, Lucarelli, Brandao.

Subs: Shust, Duljaj, Vukic, Shevchuk, Beylyk, Gladkiy, Yezerskiy.

Referee: Bertrand Layec (France)
