After a fortnight where eleven Celts headed out on international duty, the domestic action returns this weekend as the league leaders battle it out in the East End of Glasgow. With Jimmy Thelin’s Aberdeen the only team in UEFA’s top 50 ranked leagues to still boast a 100% winning record in all competitions (13 in total), and Celtic yet to drop points domestically, something will give. At Last Word on Football, we provide our Celtic predicted lineup for Saturday afternoon.
Kasper Schmeichel has excelled between the sticks, showing excellent composure on the ball and conceding just one league goal.
Alastair Johnson and Liam Scales have been consistent starters, meanwhile, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor have had their injury issues to deal with.
Last time out, Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, and Arne Engels started, with Luke McCowan and Paulo Bernardo coming off the bench. We may see something similar on Saturday.
Up front, Kyogo Furuhashi and Adam Idah have shared the minutes; this weekend we will likely see the twenty-nine-year-old return to action. While Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda have been first-choice wingers, Luis Palma and James Forrest have impacted from the bench.
