Here is a full list of every Celtic player on international duty this week, when they are playing and how to watch.

Celtic suffered a late defeat to Rangers in the final Scottish Premiership game before the international break, but with just 11 more points needed to secure a fourth successive title, things are still looking positive at Celtic Park.

A second-half fight back saw goals from Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate level the game at 2-2 for the champions-elect, however, there was still a sting in the tale for Brendan Rodgers’ team with Hamza Igamane’s thunderbolt secured bragging rights and all three points for their Glasgow rivals.

Still a full 13 points clear at the top of the league ahead of the annual split, the international break will see a number of Celtic’s squad jet off to different countries and continent to focus on success for their respective national teams, with 16 players in international action this coming week.
