The full lineup was recently confirmed:

Celtic's B side finished second in the table this season, seven points behind eventual winners East Kilbride, who have since been promoted to Scottish League Two through the pyramid play-off after victory over Bonnyrigg Rose. 

Stephen McManus led Celtic B for 2024/25, as they also reached the knockout stages of the UEFA Youth League. 

News of their Lowland League participation comes after the club sent a heartfelt message following the terrible events at Liverpool's title parade on Monday evening.

A statement read: "Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with Liverpool Football Club, all those people affected and the city of Liverpool following this evening's tragic incident."

Liverpool also spoke out on the incident, saying: "We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street, which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident.

"We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident."
