Line ups: Bartra starts v Celtic

Tito Vilanova has handed starts to Marc Bartra and Alex Song for Barcelona's Champions League clash against Celtic tonight.

The Blaugrana are in Glasgow hoping to seal their qualification from Group G, but have perhaps surprisingly left Cesc Fabregas and David Villa on the bench.

Youngster Bartra, who started the reverse fixture and came off the bench against Celta Vigo last weekend, starts in central defence alongside Javier Mascherano.

Song plays in place of the suspended Sergio Busquets in midfield, whilst the front three consists of Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez and Pedro Rodriguez.

Hosts Celtic are missing Gary Hooper and Emilio Izaguirre but Georgios Samaras – who scored at Camp Nou – has won his race to be fit. The Hoops start in a 4-4-1-1 formation with ex-Getafe forward Miku up front.

Starting Line ups:

Celtic: Forster; Lustig, Ambrose, Wilson, Matthews; Commons, Wanyama, Mulgrew, Ledley; Samaras; Miku

Barcelona: Valdes, Alba, Bartra, Mascherano, Alba; Song, Xavi, Iniesta; Messi, Sanchez, Pedro
