Celtic striker Giorgos Giakoumakis replaces Kyogo Furuhashi in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League Group H encounter at home to holders Real Madrid.

Celtic striker Giorgos Giakoumakis has replaced Kyogo Furuhashi in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League Group H encounter at home to holders Real Madrid.

Furuhashi was withdrawn in just the fifth minute of the 4-0 Old Firm derby win over Rangers on Saturday due to a shoulder injury.

The Japan international trained with the first team on Monday, but Ange Postecoglou has decided to bench the 27-year-old and instead hand Giakoumakis a start up front, with the Greek forward joining Liel Abada and Jota in a three-man attack.

Giakoumakis is one of two changes made to Celtic's first XI, with Moritz Jenz starting at centre-back at the expense of Carl Starfelt, who is ruled out with a knee injury.

Josip Juranovic, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor all join Jenz in the back four, while Matt O'Riley, Reo Hatate and captain Callum McGregor retain their places in centre-midfield.

As for Real Madrid, the likes of Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and David Alaba are all handed starts for the 14-time European champions, while summer signing Antonio Rudiger is on the bench.

Celtic XI: Hart; Juranovic, Carter-Vickers, Jenz, Taylor; O'Riley, McGregor, Hatate; Abada, Giakoumakis, Jota

Subs: Bain, Siegrist, Bernabei, Ralston, Welsh, Turnbull, Haksabanovic, Mooy, McCarthy, Forrest, Furuhashi, Maeda

Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Tchouameni, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

Subs: Lunin, Lopez, Nacho, Hazard, Asensio, Camavinga, Vazquez, Ceballos, Rodrygo, Rudiger, Mariano
