Tonight’s game at Paradise is another sellout, Ange might be getting frustrated with some of the press idiots but he’ll know at 8 this evening that Celtic fans are behind him, his team, and the rebuild.
James McCarthy, Callum McGregor, Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis were all 50/50 to start tonight but Bayer Leverkusen are also without a number of players.
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou revealed that James McCarthy has shrugged off a knock while skipper Callum McGregor, Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis – yet to make his debut – all trained on Wednesday after recovering from their various injuries.
Although there is “zero possibility” the latter three would start, Postecoglou, who has a league trip to Aberdeen on Sunday before the international break, said: “There a possibility they will get some game time tomorrow”
Bayer Leverkusen also have several injury concerns. Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Julian Baumgartlinger, Edmond Tapsoba, Exequiel Palacios and Niklas Lomb are all set to be sidelined toniht.
With both teams just announced this is how Celtic will line up tonight for a massive night in Glasgow:
