Juarez comes in from the cold
Juarez returned to Celtic in January after Real Zaragoza sacked coach Javier Aguirre and cut short the 24-year-old's loan spell with the La Liga strugglers.
Despite failing to build on his early impact at Celtic Juarez remains an important figure for Mexico who are using tonight's match to prepare for their World Cup qualifying campaign which begins in June.
“It's not so long since Efrain was playing for Zaragoza,” national coach Chepo de la Torre explained about the Celtic players inclusion.
“I have made it clear from the beginning that this match is about preparing the group for the World Cup qualifiers.
“We did well at the Gold Cup last year, Efrain was part of that and wants to fo well with the national side.”
Juarez looks unlikely to feature again for Celtic this season but is pragmatic about his situation.
He said: “I'm trying to do my best, obviously I know it's complicated because the team is doing very well and that complicates my situation even more.
“I'm training like I always did, like a pro, training hard in every workout and hoping that an opportunity will come up.
“I'm putting in extra training sessions and playing for the reserves to keep my fitness up.”
