Celtic face Dinamo Zagreb later today in the UEFA Champions League. Brendan Rodgers’ side were lacklusture in the 3-0 win over Hibernian but will want to pick up their performance levels on an important week for the club. Celtic face Rangers on Sunday in the Premier Sports League Cup Final but will want to take three points against Zagreb as Celtic look to secure their place in the next phase of the competition.
You would expect Brendan to restore Cameron Carter-Vickers, Paulo Bernardo, Reo Hatate and Kyogo back into the team for this game, which appears to be the manager’s best XI.
Carter-Vickers, who was on the bench on Saturday, is likely to replace Liam Scales to start alongside Auston Trusty with Greg Taylor and Alistair Johnston at fullback.
At the other end, Celtic will likely restore Paulo Bernardo and Reo Hatate to the midfield trio alongside Callum McGregor in the heart of the midfield.
Kyogo is likely to start through the middle with Nicolas Kühn and Daizen Maeda out wide.
Predicted XI: Schmeichel; Taylor, Trusty, Carter-Vickers, Johnston; McGregor, Hatate, Bernardo; Maeda, Kyogo, Kühn.
The game starts at 5:45pm with coverage on TNT Sports 2 beginning at 5pm.
