Daniel Siebert will referee Thursday’s Europa League tie between Celtic and Cluj.

The 35-year-old German was in charge of Celtic’s 2-0 home win over Stjarnan in 2015 and has been handling Europa League group ties since 2015.

Celtic go into the match without Vakoun Bayo who is suspended after being red carded by Spanish referee Jose Maria Sanchez in the closing stages of the 1-1 draw with Rennes on Matchday One.

The suspension of Bayo restricts Neil Lennon’s striking option although Odsonne Edouard was always going to be the first choice striker.

Leigh Griffiths has missed Celtic’s last four matches due to a thigh strain but could be in contention for a place on the bench if he trains with the squad this week.

Nir Bitton and Mikey Johnston have been out injured since the derby success at Ibrox but both players are expected to train today and be in contention for a place on Thursday night.
