Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told Hoops fans the team they can expect to see lineup against Sligo Rovers on Wednesday.
The Bhoys head over to Ireland for a mid-season friendly amidst the second international break of the campaign.
Rodgers’ men are just off the back of a busy period of seven games in the space of 23 days.
They won six of those matches, the only loss coming at the hands of last season’s UEFA Champions League finalists.
It was a successful block of games, and now the Celts are preparing for another arduous run.
Firstly, though, they head to Sligo, where Rodgers will take a team mixed with senior players, those on the fringes of his squad, and academy youngsters.
“I’ll be there, I’ll be taking the team,” said the manager (The Celtic Way).
“That plan was in place a few months back. We’ll need to recover some players. But there’s going to be a number of players that need games.
“So it’ll be a mixture of our first team players in the squad and also some of our young players, because it’s my chance to see them.”
Sligo sit sixth in the Irish top flight ahead of Wednesday’s game.
Regardless of the team, the Hoops will be expected to head to their spiritual home and pick up a friendly victory.
After the clash at the Showgrounds, the full focus will then turn to next Saturday’s table-topping clash against an Aberdeen side that has yet to lose a game this season.
Jimmy Thelin is already looking forward to it after the Bhoys’ closest title rivals kept up their perfect start to the season with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Hearts yesterday.
Ante Palaversa’s late strike set up a blockbuster clash at Parkhead next weekend.
