Celtic team news
Celtic will be unable to call upon Daizen Maeda once more, as the Japanese attacker remains sidelined with a knee injury sustained in a recent collision. This setback leaves manager Brendan Rodgers with a front three of James Forrest, Kyogo Furuhashi, and Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, who are expected to lead the line again.
Last season's standout performer, midfielder Matt O'Riley, has been the subject of intense transfer speculation this summer. However, the 23-year-old put the rumours behind him with an impressive display in the opening game and is poised to feature prominently once more.
Celtic possible XI: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; O'Riley, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Furuhashi, Forrest
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Schmeichel, Sinisalo, Bain, Oluwayemi, Clarke |
| Defenders: | Nawrocki, Carter-Vickers, Johnston, Taylor, Scales, Kobayashi, Ralston, Lagerbielke, Welsh, Montgomery, Anderson |
| Midfielders: | O'Riley, Hatate, Bernardo, McGregor, Kühn, Iwata, Holm, Kwon, Forrest, McCarthy, Kelly, Shaw, Donovan |
| Forwards: | Furuhashi, Maeda, Palma, Yang, Johnston |
