As things stand below is what I see our starting line up being and beneath that the likely replacements for each position.
As everyone is saying we need a New RB and CB to push to start games. Personally I'd like a new RW to replace Forrest but he has just had his best season so far so we'll see if that sustains.
I also prefer to see McGregor play in the midfield but it also means Rogic dropping out to allow a 4-3-3 and would likely see Sinclair start.
You'll also see some players who aren't going to be likely in with much of a chance below it all and that includes Griffiths. I wouldn't be surprised to see him loaned out. I think he brings something different to the team and is a terrific goalscorer but he is third choice striker now.
I also don't expect Christie or Kouassi to get a lot of game time considering they sit below every other midfielder in the pecking order.

Boyata is aggressive in the air and in the tackle, hes quick, he attacks the ball better than any of our other CBs
he pops up with a goal now and again, usually an important one
He isn't the best with the ball at his feet but most centre halfs arent

Totally agree with this
Boyata has some great attributes , he also has some very shaky moments
I think he's got better and better in the Celtic team and Rodgers wants him to be this all signing and dancing centre half like vvd ...bit he's not ...he's an aggressive centre half and a good one in that role , it's mainly when he's on the ball that his problems occur .....it's not so much his defending that's questioned

or when he is asked to organise the defence
or track a run

if he isn't doing his job properly then he shouldn't be picked

This was obviously posted before the 80 minute mark.
FFS he nearly gave away 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.
Think I remember Celtic giving up a good few late goals this past season.
