Celtic squad revealed as late addition offers Ange Postecoglou options against AZ

Celtic will be without Ryan Christie but Liel Abada has returned to the squad for the crunch Europa League playoff first leg with AZ Alkmaar.

Ange Postecoglou has a fit and firing squad who have scored 16 goals in their last four wins and now have their eyes fixed on taking out the Eredivisie big hitters.

James McCarthy was added over the weekend with Leo Hjelde dropping out - but will the Republic of Ireland international earn his first start?

They don't have their problems to seek and that's before they have to find a way to slow down Kyogo Furuhashi and Co in front of a sell out crowd.

Celtic are eyeing a fourth consecutive season of group stage football in this tournament but if they come up short then they will automatically qualify for the Europa Conference League.
