Team news: Martin O'Neill names Celtic side to face Bologna in Europa League

Martin O’Neill has named his Celtic side to face Bologna in their Europa League clash in Italy.

Celtic sit 24th in the League Phase table with seven points from six games and know that they can’t afford to slip any further or they will miss out on the knockout stages. Positive results in their last two matches can keep them ahead of the chasing pack.

O’Neill also wants to keep the forward momentum since he returned to the club for a third time, with Celtic now on a run of three successive victories.

The manager has named a strong line-up, despite January signings Tomas Cvancara and Julian Araujo being ineligible for this stage of the competition.

Kasper Schmeichel starts in goal behind a back four of Kieran Tierney, Liam Scales, Auston Trusty and Colby Donovan.

Arne Engels, captain Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate are the midfield trio, with Yang and Sebastian Tounekti on the wings either side of Daizen Maeda.
