Carl Starfelt comes into the Celtic side to replace Cameron Carter-Vickers in the Celtic side to face Real Madrid in the Bernabeu.

Ange Postecoglou also changes the wingers with Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda coming in to partner Kyogo Furuhashi in attack for the final match of Group F. Josip Juranovic returns to replace Tony Ralston at right-back.

Starfelt suffered a knee injury during the Glasgow derby victory on September 3 but without being in a squad since then he goes into the side to take on the champions of Europe.

Despite his scoring return off the bench at Livingston on Sunday Jota remains on the bench with Stephen Welsh and James McCarthy added to those that were on duty at the weekend.

Joe Hart will captain Celtic with Frenchwoman Stephanie Frappart refereeing tonight’s match.

CELTIC: Hart; Juranovic, Starfelt, Jenz, Taylor; Mooy, O’Riley, Hatate; Abada, Kyogo, Maeda

SUBS: Siegrist, Bain, Giakoumakis, Haksabanovic, Turnbull, McCarthy, Jota, Benabei, Abildgaard, Forrest, Ralston Welsh

    Juranovic not Celtic class. When he missed that penalty, he should have just kept on running!

    boy was that a hard watch well out of our depth just cannon fodder to the top teams. ange still not learned how to play against these top teams we just dont have the class of players to go against these teams so our best effort just not good enough the gulf of revenue is vast celltic around 75/85 million on a good season madrid 650 million just not possible and its not going to change anytime soon. madrid spending around a billon euros up grading their staidium i think we spent a couple of million last year lets be honest way way out of our leauge europa our level to be frank and thats terrible also .

    First thing you need is a level playing field. Two dubious penalties excluded, then, if we score ours, we’re ahead in the game. The score could easily have been 3-2. But how it would have panned out, we’ll never know. But the bigger teams attract favourable decisions as witnessed again today and also the pass-back which was ignored by ref. without the blink of an eye and var in first game, with score at 0-0. That’s fine margins!

    please dont make any excuses they put past us 8 goals to our 1 2 points from 18, goals against 15 goals scored 3 just so poor back to the spl and build for next year can only do our best but just cant get near these top teams in the cl their players above our class in every department sad but thats how it is.the van the man is right not chance to get anywhere near these teams unless you have a rich arab billionare or in newcastle case a trillionare.

    Don’t preach to me peter cassidy! Got it? Plonk. Eire?

  • the maister says:

    According to you, we will never be good enough. But the proof that you are wrong was written in 1967. Remember? Buaigh me!

  • the maister says:

    You Fud!

  • the maister says:

    Pep Guardiola admitted he doesn’t know the penalty rule. So who does? And VAR is an imperfect system. It robbed Croatia of the World Cup in the Final Match. The rich teams just lap it up because all of it favours them and the status quo. But that doesn’t mean that they are always right, although some might believe that it does!

  • the maister says:

    Who’s “Van The Man” anyhow peter? Or did you just make that bit up?

  • the maister says:

    Go and have an argument with yourself, peter.

  • the maister says:

    Or, if you ain’t got no friends, go and volunteer to do something. That’s the system!
