Celtic manager Neil Lennon has recalled Georgios Samaras and Kris Commons to the starting lineup for his side's Scottish Premiership clash against Aberdeen.

The duo return to the team at the expense of James Forrest and Nir Biton as the defending Scottish champions look to extend their unbeaten league run to 13 games.

Meanwhile, Aberdeen defender Josh Magennis has failed to recover his full fitness in time and is on the bench for this afternoon's clash.

Celtic: Forster; Fisher, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Izaguirre; Commons, Brown, Ledley, Mulgrew; Samaras, Pukki

Aberdeen: Langfield; Shaughnessy, Hector, Anderson, Considine, Reynolds; Jack, Pawlett, Hayes; McGinn, Zola
