Celtic take on Midtjylland tomorrow night in what is their first game of the 2021/22 season and the first competitive match for new manager Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian was hired as the permanent successor to Neil Lennon earlier this summer and all eyes will be on the Australian as he looks to get off to the best possible start against the Danish visitors.
Unfortunately, the coach doesn’t have his problems to seek before this game. Celtic have been slow in recruiting players this summer with two of their most recent additions, attackers Liel Abada and Kyogo Furuhashi, not yet ready to play.
Also left out of the squad for the game are Kristoffer Ajer and Olivier Ntcham with Postecoglou making it clear he has little time for players who wish to move on from the Glasgow side.
Here's how we think he’ll line up his side...
5. CB - Osaze Urhoghide
Nir Bitton is available after recovering from injury and his experience might see him play, but the Ralston-Welsh-Urhoghide-Taylor back four has been the one to play most in pre-season. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
6. DM - Ismaila Soro
The Ivorian has recovered from injury and with Celtic light on fit bodies in the midfield area he's likely to start. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
7. MR - James Forrest
Another absent through most of pre-season, in his case due to a Covid scare, but Celtic need as many of their match-winners on the park as possible so he's another fitness risk who may get the nod. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
8. MC - Callum McGregor
Barring injury or illness, the new Celtic captain will certainly start. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
