Celtic put a strong side out on Saturday, but he left a good few players out of the mix that could’ve easily been in the starting XI.
If you’re looking for hints of who will be playing against Shakhtar on Tuesday evening, look no further than Giakoumakis playing the entire game in Edinburgh. The Celtic manager rarely leaves his striker up top for the entire match, but the Greek got the full game, leaving Kyogo on the bench.
That decision means Kyogo is almost certainly starting the game at Celtic Park on Tuesday evening. Celtic fans have been debating who should be our starting striker in most games, but Ange really doesn’t see things like that.
He uses his squad as and when he sees fit. Seeing value in different players for different games. Giakoumakis has been in good form lately while Kyogo has hit a slow patch.
The Japanese star will be dying to get onto the field at Celtic Park and hopefully grab a goal in front of the home support.
Other players who didn’t start the game were Juranovic and Taylor. Both look likely to feature in the starting XI.
Celtic look like they’ll bow out of the competition in 4th place, but a win would really boost the players and show some progress.
