Martin O’Neill yesterday was asked if there would be any changes from the team from the weekend in the 2-1 win away at Hibs. Here’s his response: “Well, we’ll have a look now. Kieran Tierney’s foot, or his toe, is getting better. He got the toenail removed, which was pretty sore for him. But he did get an injection. And each day it’s getting a bit better. And, yes, with the players that we have, obviously, the long-term injuries are still there. And that’s not going to change for the next couple of months. But, yes, we’re going as strongly as we can.”

Kasper Schmeichel will be in goals behind a back four of Colby Donovan, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales and Marcelo Saracchi. In the middle of the park Celtic will have our captain Callum McGregor alongside the two back to their best midfielders Arne Engels and Reo Hatate. Luke McCowan will play against his former club on the right had side of the Celtic attack, Daizen Maeda will be the striker and Yang will be on the left wing. So same again from the team at Easter Road at the weekend.

On the Celtic bench this evening we expect to see Sinisalo, Murray, Ralston, Tierney, Nygren, Bernardo, Balikwisha, Kenny, Inheanacho and Tounekti.
No idea when James Forrest will be back in the team but it doesn’t appear to be a long term problem, unlike with Jota, Carter-Vickers, Johnston and Osmand.
