Celtic's Europa League squad in full as Neil Lennon rings the changes

Neil Lennon has named his Celtic squad for the Europa League group stage - and Odsonne Edouard has been included on the player B list for the first time.

A 37-man squad (which includes 14 players on the player B list) has been submitted to UEFA as summer signings Fraser Forster , Greg Taylor, Moritz Bauer and Mohamed Elyounoussi come into the fold.

The Hoops will take on Rennes, Lazio and former Champions League foes Cluj in the group stage with several changes taking place to the squad that defeated AIK 6-1 on aggregate.

Celtic made light work of Swedes to reach the tournament proper and Lennon is aiming to secure European football after Christmas with a top two finish in Group E.

Long-term absentees Daniel Arzani also failed to make the cut and there's no place for Eboue Kouassi, either, after the Ivorian, recovering from a serious knee injury, was removed from the player pool that faced AIK. Luca Connell also misses out.

Jack Hendry misses out after he failed to secure a deadline day move away from Parkhead.

Both Scott Bain and Craig Gordon keep their places in the squad despite the return of Forster.

The trio of Lee O'Connor, Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Afolabi have not been registered.

The 37-man squad below is now locked in, so no new players can be registered for the duration of the group stages. Should Celtic make the knockout stages then the squad can be updated.
