Ange Postecoglou has named his starting eleven as Celtic take on RB Leipzig in the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig in the third round of match of the Champions League group stages.
Joe Hart is in goals and Josip Juranovic is at right back, Greg Taylor is Celtic’s left back and the central defensive partnership is Stephen Welsh and Moritz Jenz. Probably neither player would have had much hope of starting in the Champions League this season but both have a tremendous opportunity to make their mark at this level by putting in a strong performance against a very attack minded opposition.
Callum McGregor will captain the side from the number 6 position as a deep lying midfield general with both Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley playing in the 8 and 10 role with the front three of Daizen Maeda wide on the right, Kyogo through the middle and Jota on the left wing.
The Celtic substitiutes are Siegrist, Bain, Bernabei, Ralston, Abildgaard, Robertson, Hakšabanović, Forrest, Giakoumakis and McCarthy.
Kick-off is at 5.45 pm Celtic Park Time) and of course…
