Celtic travel to the Raiffeisen Arena on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League qualifying final against Austrian side LASK.
Under Martin O’Neill the Hoops have made a perfect start to the season, winning all four competitive matches so far, scoring 13 goals and conceding just once. Recent results include Premiership wins over Dundee (1-0) and Kilmarnock (5-1), a 4-0 League Cup victory against Dundee United, and a convincing 3-0 first-leg win over LASK.
Celtic team news
Martin O’Neill faces some late selection concerns. Centre-back Auston Trusty missed the last training session with a stomach bug, leaving Liam Scales ready to partner Cameron Carter‑Vickers in defence if needed.
Celtic are also thin at full-back after regular right-back Alistair Johnston was sidelined until October with a hamstring problem; academy graduate Colby Donovan is again expected to fill in.
In midfield and attack the team will be without the suspended Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain, while winger Jota remains out long-term as he recovers from a serious cruciate ligament injury.
Viljami Sinisalo is likely to start in goal behind a makeshift backline that could include Kieran Tierney.
Celtic predicted lineup
Possible Celtic starting XI: Sinisalo; Donovan, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Tierney; Nygren, McGregor, Baur; Duran, Hogh, Hyun-Jun
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Tuesday, 25th August.
