BRENDAN RODGERS has registered his squad for Celtic’s upcoming Champions League showdown with Linfield and it makes for impressive reading.

The Irishman’s two summer signings have made the list and more importantly, he’s left a space open for a wildcard player to be added before 11 pm on Thursday.

Should Olivier Ntcham be signed in time he’ll go straight into the Champions League squad but would be unlikely to start if he does.

Kieran Tierney has not been included but will still be named on List B, which is reserved for young players.

Here is the full registered squad.
