Martin O’Neill has made three changes to the Celtic side that beat St Mirren for the Europa League match with Feyenoord.
Colby Donovan, Luke McCowan and Yang Hyun-jun come into the side with Tony Ralston, Johnny Kenny and Sebastian Tounekti dropping to the bench.
Kelechi Iheanacho is among the substitutes with the striker involved for the first time since being injured against Sturm Graz in Matchday 3.
Also on the bench, for the first time ever is 18 year old defender Findlay Hale and B team captain Samuel Isiguzo, a central midfielder or striker.
The inclusion of McCowan could see Celtic ditch their preferred 4-3-3 formation. The former Dundee man was a half-time substitute in the win over St Mirren but more comfortable in midfield than out on the wing.
Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Shin Yamada aren’t in Celtic’s Europa League squad.
BACKDROP
At the halfway stage in the group stage Celtic are toiling with just four points from four matches.
Anything less than a win tonight makes qualification seem unlikely although certainly not impossible.
Two of the three remaining matches are against Italian sides, even in good form those matches would be tough challenges.
Feyenoord have only taken three points from their opening four matches meaning that tonight is just as vital for the Dutch side. A 3-1 victory at home to Panathinaikos is their only positive result of the campaign, in their last outing they lost 2-0 away to Stuttgart.
A draw wouldn’t favour either side, changed days from 1970 when they met in the European Cup Final in Milan. Europa League leaders Mistjylland were 29 years away from formation at that point.
Domestically Celtic are away to Hibs on Sunday which looks like being O’Neill’s final match in charge.
CELTIC: Schmeichel; Donovan, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Hatate, Engels; McCowan, Maeda, Yang
SUBS: Sinisalo, Doohan, Nygren, Balikwisha, Iheanacho, Tounekti, Kenny, Bernanrdo, Murray, Ralston, Hale, Isiguzo
Look at that squad playing away to Feyenoord
That shower who are running our club ought to be hanging their heads in shame
That result will make them (the board) think that they’re brilliant no doubt !
