As Celtic prepares to kick off their Champions League campaign, they face a challenging trip to Feyenoord on Tuesday night.

Many Celtic supporters have already embarked on their journey to Rotterdam, anticipating a thrilling encounter. The excitement is palpable, given Feyenoord’s recent performance. The Dutch side has been on a scoring spree, managing to find the back of the net consistently, even with the absence of some pivotal players in the attacking lineup.

Meanwhile, speculations and debates are rife about Celtic’s potential starting lineup, especially concerning choices for the wings and central defence.

As the showdown looms, the CeltsAreHere team has made their predictions on the starting eleven:

Craig (@CraigCelt): Craig believes that the manager will stick with the same central defensive duo and wingers from the weekend. However, he expects Hatate to make a return to the starting lineup, given his commendable performance as a substitute.

Predicted Lineup: Hart, Johnston, Philips, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate, Maeda, Yang, Kyogo.

Aaron (@aaronhairee): Aaron envisions a switch in the defensive pairing. He points out Lagerbielke’s impressive stint in Saturday’s match as a strong reason for a starting spot. He also anticipates Palma earning his place in the lineup following a notable performance off the bench, especially when considering Yang’s poor display against Dundee.

Predicted Lineup: Hart, Johnston, Lagerbielke, Philips, Taylor, McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate, Maeda, Kyogo, Palma.
