So, for the remainder of the match, this is the team Brendan Rodgers has decided to field.

Forrest will start the second half, before being replaced by Liel Abada in the 49th minute.
The first half saw Nawrocki make his Celtic debut, Carter-Vickers make his injury return, and Kwon make his first start.
Celtic went a goal down just after a minute was played, with Hatate playing a slack pass and the visitors pouncing on it. Hatate then was the man on the moment, slotting the ball into the bottom corner. However, the teams were only level for a minute, with Athletic Club pouncing on another mistake, this time from Iwata. He tried, but failed, to clear a ball that was played over the top, seeing the Hoops fall behind again.
