We reported on Monday evening UEFA had posted the Celtic squad for the double header against Jablonec – but new bhoy Carl Starfelt was missing.
The Swede started the game at Tynecastle at the weekend and was certainly expected to be part of the Euro squad. We put it down to an admin error on UEFAs part – something they did in the last round that had supports believing Liel Abada was not in the matchday squad.
Training pictures from Tuesday morning appear to confirm Carl is fit and ready to play for the Bhoys on Thursday night.

The players always train at Celtic Park in the morning before a flight to play away in Europe. The Hoops have been out through their paces in the East End of Glasgow before flying out to the Czech Republic.
Celtic can register another two players by Wednesday at 11pm, but if they’re heading out this afternoon – it’s unlikely any new signings that come in will be part of this matchday. However, they still could be registered so they could play in the second leg.
