Goalkeeper to debut for Celtic

Celtic goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska made his first Clydesdale Bank Premier League start of the season in place of Artur Boruc for the clash with Hamilton at New Douglas Park.

Hoops manager Tony Mowbray made three other changes, with midfielders Scott Brown and Landry N’Guemo and defender Mark Wilson dropping out, with only the latter starting on the bench.

Andreas Hinkel replaced Wilson at right-back, Zheng Zhi came into the midfield and Georgios Samaras returned to partner Scott McDonald in attack.

Hamilton captain Alex Neil made his long-awaited comeback for the first time since undergoing hip surgery in the summer but started on the bench as boss Billy Reid started with the same XI which drew 1-1 with Dundee United last week.

Hamilton: Cerny, McClenahan, Canning, Elebert, McLaughlin, Hastings, Mensing, McArthur, Wesolowski, Marco Paixao, Antoine-Curier.

Subs: Murdoch, Neil, Evans, Andrews, Kirkpatrick, Gow, Beuzelin.

Celtic: Zaluska, Hinkel, Caldwell, McManus, Naylor, Maloney, Robson, Zhi, McGeady, McDonald, Samaras.

Subs: Cervi, Crosas, McGinn, McCourt, Wilson, Thompson, Caddis.

Referee: Ian Brown (Scotland)
