Chris Sutton has claimed on BT Sport that Moussa Dembele will be given the nod to spearhead the Celtic attack in their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.
Manager Brendan Rodgers must decide whether to start with French striker Dembele or in-form Scot Leigh Griffiths.
Sutton is in no doubt that Dembele, 21, will lead the front line despite a stop-start season in which injury has restricted him to just four starts in all competitions.
Former Celtic striker Sutton told BT Sport in a preview of the match broadcast on their Twitter account: “Dembele will start, I don’t think there’s any question about that.
“Celtic struggled away at Bayern and Dembele offers that physicality and will be able to hold the ball up better than Leigh Griffiths.”

Dembele has scored five goals from 10 Celtic appearances this season, six of which have come as a substitute, while Griffiths has netted eight times in 20 matches, 15 of which have been starts.
