Celtic host Falkirk at Celtic Park this Wednesday evening in a fixture that could have a major influence on the Scottish Premiership standings. The champions will be under interim charge, following Brendan Rodgers’ exit this week.
Celtic vs Falkirk – Predicted lineup and team news
Celtic Team News
The Glasgow giants find themselves in the midst of a substantial injury crisis, further complicated by a managerial shake-up. Martin O’Neill, with Shaun Maloney alongside him, steps in as interim head coach following Brendan Rodgers’ unexpected exit—confirmed just a day after a disappointing 3-1 loss to Hearts.
A string of injuries has left Celtic with significant squad concerns. Cameron Carter-Vickers is facing a three-to-five-month spell on the sidelines due to an Achilles problem picked up during their Europa League match against Sturm Graz, dealing a major setback to the club’s defensive options.
Both Alistair Johnston and Kelechi Iheanacho are unavailable as a result of hamstring injuries sustained in the same European contest, while Jota continues his recovery from a serious cruciate ligament issue that will likely rule him out until February.
Questions remain over Daizen Maeda’s readiness as he works his way back from a hamstring strain, and O’Neill is expected to be cautious with his return. With a depleted squad, the new management team faces tough choices as they attempt to guide Celtic through this challenging phase.
Celtic Predicted Lineup
Possible Celtic starting XI: Schmeichel; Donovan, Murray, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Hatate, Engels; Nygren, Kenny, Tounekti.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8:45pm BST on Wednesday, 29th October.
