Neil Lennon put his whole squad through training at Barrowfield today- giving nothing away about who will be on board the flight to Cluj.
Anticipating the squad based on pictures from training sessions is a fool’s game with close to 30 players involved the day before a match.
With Celtic’s place in the seeded section of Monday’s Europa League draw secured the pressure is off for tomorrow’s match in Romania which is a position Celtic have only been involved in once before, in 2006 following the Champions League win over Manchester United.

After the heavy workload so far this season- and with five domestic games in a fortnight after the match in Romania- Lennon is expected to leave his front-line players out of tomorrow’s match.
Scott Brown is suspended but shouldn’t lack company for the match tomorrow night as Nir Bitton, Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham and Scott Sinclair are drafted into the side.
Karamoko Dembele could feature for the first time this season with the 16-year-old able to join the squad as a player developed through the Celtic Academy.
