Thomas Rogne will make his first public appearance as a Celtic player against Drogheda United tonight.
The 19-year-old defender played alongside Jos Hooiveld in a closed doors match at Blackburn a fortnight ago and will play tonight in a Celtic XI managed by Neil Lennon.
Injuries last night to Hooiveld and Andreas Hinkel against Kilmarnock could push Rogne into contention for a place in the team to face Dunfermline on Sunday in the Scottish Cup.
After signing the defender Tony Mowbray said: “He’s only 19 but has had good experience in the Norwegian league.
“Thomas has a bright future and will be training with the first-team squad and competing for a place in the side.”
Scott Brown will also be in the squad tonight for Celtic’s third visit of the season to Ireland having previously won away to Cork City and lost at Cliftonville.
