Celtic Name Exciting Starting XI; Major Chance for Fringe Bhoy

Celtic take on Rapid Vienna at 5pm on Saturday afternoon. It’s the second game of pre-season for the bhoys after picking up a 7-0 win against Viktoria Wiener.

The Hoops starting XI looks a lot more familiar from the side who started on Wednesday. Now the bhoys who has more time off due to international participation are back in the fold.

And exciting front three of Maeda, Giakoumakis and Jota begin the game.

Bernabei keeps his place from Wednesday as does Osaze Urhoghide – the defender is the only right back in the side. Juranovic has picked up a slight knock but no word on why Ralston hasn’t made the game.

It will be a real test for the bhoys this afternoon and one we hope they can rise to.

It’s early days but of course we want to see the bhoys win. At this stage, it is more about fitness than anything else.
