Martin O’Neill has named his Celtic team for this evening’s friendly against Shelbourne FC…
The Scottish Champions kick off their pre-season at Tolka Park and there’s a return to action for Cameron Carter-Vickers…
Ross Doohan starts in goals. The Scottish keeper will be looking to push Vil Sinisalo but it is expected that the Hoops will go into the market for a new goalkeeper.
Carter-Vickers starts alongside Dane Murray. The USA Internationalist was injured in the win against Strum Graz in Brendan Rodgers’ last home game in late October 2025. Now, he returns to the backline as he prepares for the new season. Youngster Joseph Haney starts at left back with Colby Donovan at right back.
Sean McArdle starts in the midfield with skipper Callum McGregor and Paulo Bernardo.
In attack, Callum Osmand leads the line with Michel-Ange Balikwisha and James Forrest.
Subs: Sinisalo, Scales, McCowan, Nawrocki, Shin, Engels, Ure, Bonnar, Montgomery, Hatton, Dargie, Turley, Obidiwe, Charlton, Kennedy.
Celtic will likely swap the XI at half time in order to spread the minutes amongst the squad. The manager will be keen to see if any players can make the step up as he continues to look to add signings in the window.
