Celtic defender given Euro chance as Ange Postecoglou rings the changes

Defender Stephen Welsh has been handed a starting slot for Celtic's Europa Conference League clash against Bodo/Glimt in Norway.

The Coatbridge stopper, who last played in the 4-0 Scottish Cup fifth round win over Raith Rovers on February 13, has been included by boss Ange Postecoglou alongside others such as Liam Scales, and Nir Bitton, who has been handed the captain's armband.

That's because Callum McGregor is on the bench alongside big names such as Reo Hatate, Liel Abada, Jota, and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Celtic are in the Arctic Circle for the clash, with hopes of turning around a 3-1 first-leg deficit to reach the last 16 of the conmpetition.

The game kicks off at 5.45pm.
