Carl Starfelt’s Celtic form has been rewarded as he has been named in the Swedish National Team’s squad for their upcoming fixtures. The central defender has formed a solid partnership with Cameron Carter-Vickers at the heart of Celtic’s defence. Sweden host Czech Republic on the 24th of March with the winners will face Poland for a place at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

The Swedish Internationalist joined Celtic in a £4.2m move from the Russian club Rubin Kazan back in July. However, he has come under fire for some lapses in concentration. Although, for the best part, this is largely unfounded. Starfelt and Carter-Vickers have complimented each other well and as the season progresses, they appear to be comfortable with each other. Celtic’s defence record attests to the fact that they are doing a good job.
Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda have been called up to play for Japan in their World Cup Qualifiers. Whilst Celtic captain Callum McGregor and Greg Taylor have been selected by Steve Clarke for Scotland duty. Ange Postecoglou will hope that his players will enjoy success on the pitch while playing for the country but stay fit enough for the return to action with Celtic.
