BRENDAN RODGERS has left Moussa Dembele and Stuart Armstrong on the bench for Celtic's friendly against Slavia Prague.

The two stars of last season have failed to earn starting spots in what is otherwise a strong Hoops line-up for the game kicking off at 5pm UK time.

Craig Gordon starts in goals with a back four of Mikael Lustig, Jozo Simunovic, Dedryck Boyata and Kieran Tierney in front of him. 

The midfield consists of captain Scott Brown, Callum McGregor and Tom Rogic, while the front three is made up of Scott Sinclair, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths.

The match will see the curtain fall on Celtic's tour of Austria and the Czech Republic, where they have beaten BW Linz 1-0 and drawn 1-1 against Rapid Vienna so far. 

Rodgers has a strong bench to use, with new signing Jonny Hayes, defender Erik Sviatchenko and Israel international Nir Bitton also among the replacements.
