Liam Lindsay and Anthony Gordon came straight in for their debuts after signings on loan on deadline day from Stoke City and Everton respectively.

Sepp van den Berg, who was signed on loan from Liverpool as part of the deal which took Ben Davies to Anfield, was named on the bench.

Sean Maguire returned to the squad after injury, the striker getting a place on the bench.
