CELTIC’S squad for the Europa League Group stages has been announced and as usual Moravcik67 provides a concise summary on social media.
“UEFA have put up the squad list for the Europa League group stage. Highlights
– Forster, Bain and Gordon all included.
– Eddie eligible for List B, saving a List A spot.
– Hendry, Koussai and Connell removed. Arzani left out.
– Bauer, Taylor, Elyounoussi added,” he wrote.
Think Ajer is also eligible for a place on List B incidentally.
Celtic’s Europa League squad is as follows”
Goalkeepers
Craig Gordon, Scott Bain, Fraser Forster, Ryan Mullen*, Conor Hazard*
Defenders
Christopher Jullien, Greg Taylor, Jozo Simunovic, Moritz Bauer, Boli Bolingoli, Hatem Abd Elhamed, Kris Ajer*, Nir Bitton, Kerr McInroy*
Midfielders
Scott Brown, Scott Sinclair, Lewis Morgan, Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham, Barry Coffey*, Scott Robertson*, Callum McGregor, James Forrest, Paul Kennedy*, Mark Hill*, David McKay*, Jonny Hayes, Ryan Christie, Michael Johnston*, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Marian Shved, Karamoko Dembele*
Forwards
Leigh Griffiths, Vakoun Issouf Bayo, Odsonne Edouard*, Calvin Miller*, Grant Savoury*
(* denotes player B list)
Interesting that Calvin Miller is back to being a forward rather than a left back that Brendan Rodgers tried to turn him into, without much success, it has to be said.

Celtic kick-off the group stages campaign away to Stade Rennais (or just Rennes if you prefer) in Brittany on Thursday 19 September (kick-off is 17.55) before playing Cluj at Celtic Park on Thursday 3 October (kick-off is 8pm). Celtic then welcome S.S. Lazio to Paradise on Thursday 24 October – again with an 8pm kick-off.
Next up is the trip to Rome for the return fixture against Lazio on Thursday 7 November with a kick-off time of 17.55 for this glamour tie. Later in November, on Thursday the 28th, Celtic welcome Rennes to Celtic Park for the second time this season – the side’s played out a goalless draw in July in the pre-season friendly that was on the season ticket. For the Europa League match against Rennes the match at Celtic Park will kick off at 20.00.
Then Celtic are back in Romania for the second time this season to face CFR Cluj on Thursday 12 December – kick off for this one is again 17.55.
So the three home games in the Europa League Groupd stages are
Thursday 3 October: Celtic v CFR Cluj (KO: 8pm)
Thursday 24 October: Celtic v Lazio (KO: 8pm)
Thursday 28 November: Celtic v Stade Rennais (KO: 8pm)

Wee international breaks are great for reflecting, mind that time Johnny Hayes secured the points with a goal in 92nd minute, complete underdogs as well that day ???? pic.twitter.com/f64mm6pwbm
