One of the standout performers for Shakhtar Donetsk so far this season has been 21-year old Mykhaylo Mudryk who will be a threat for Celtic tomorrow night.

The Ukrainian winger was linked with moves to various English Premier League clubs during the summer window with Arsenal showing a keen interest in the player.

He missed Shakhtar’s 2-1 victory at the weekend over Chornomorets Odesa due to a suspension but will no doubt be back in action tomorrow evening.

On matchday one of the Champions League he was one of the standout performers for Shakhtar as he bagged his first goal in the competition and assisted two of the four goals.

The Ukrainian international looked good for the short time he was on the park against Scotland back in June and will pose a real threat to Celtic.

Mudryk will be up against Josip Juranovic tomorrow night which will be a fascinating dual to watch as they can both match each other for pace.

Two of Shakhtar’s goal last week against RB Leipzig came from down the left hand side with the talented young winger likely to cause the Hoops problems.

The Ukrainian side were very effective on the counter-attack last week in Germany meaning that Postecoglou’s side will need to remain focused throughout the match.

It will also be vitally important that Celtic’s wide men put in a shift tomorrow evening no matter who is given the nod to play.
