On the bench, Celtic boasts a strong set of substitutes including Rodgers, Barclais, Richardson, siblings S. Carstens and M. Carstens, Cross, Noonan, Loferski, and McAneny, offering a range of tactical options for Sadiku throughout the match.
The Ghirls are 90 minutes away from making history.
For those who can’t make it along to Airdrie, you can catch the Ghirls’ history attempt on BBC Alba.
The Hopos are 1-0 up from their first-leg encounter on Sunday, which was also played in Airdrie due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine. The Hoops had a lot of chances to increase their lead in the first meeting but failed to take them. However, confidence is high heading into this one.
