As Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic FC prepare for a crucial Champions League clash against Lazio, a closer look at the expected playing XI reveals some adjustments.
In pursuit of European football in the new year, Celtic must win this match, aiming to bounce back from a disappointing draw at home to Motherwell.
The line-up for this challenging Lazio clash will be somewhat subdued due to the absence of key players. Luis Palma, who is suspended following a yellow card against Atletico, and injured duo Dezan Maeda and Leal Abda will be notable omissions.
Manager James Forrest has confirmed the inclusion of Mikey Johnston and Yang, bolstering the team’s attacking options. Alistair Johnston is expected to replace Tony Ralston in the defensive set-up, with Cameron and Carter Vickers joining the backline. Liam Scales is likely to take up the left-back position alongside Greg Taylor.
Despite being somewhat thin on the wings, Thistlekstar proposed a central role for Kyoghu to lead the attacking front, supported by Yang and James Forrest.
