For the matches, Rodgers has confirmed his 24-man squad. Celtic only have seven homegrown players, hence why their squad is a member light.

Summer signings Shin Yamada, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Callum Osmand and Hayato Inamura miss out, although the likes of Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Sebastian Tounekti, and Marcelo Saracchi all make the cut. 

Colby Donovan is not included but he can be put on the B list.
