Defence, Midfield and Attack

Josip Juranovic

Osaze Urhoghide put in a very good performance against Real Betis in midweek. But Juranovic should be back in the starting XI, at right-back, against Motherwell.

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Carter-Vickers has been a regular in the heart of defence for Celtic ever since arriving in the summer on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur. And he should return to his place after a midweek rest.

Carl Starfelt

Starfelt has been an absolute standout for Celtic this season, after some early season struggles. And his recent return from injury has been a huge boost for the Hoops to say the least.

Greg Taylor

There is a case to be made for Liam Scales here after an excellent performance against Real Betis but Postecoglou might stick with the tried and tested Taylor on this occasion while gradually increasing the former Shamrock Rovers star’s playing time.

Nir Bitton

With a lack of options up top, Postecoglou might have to increase his numbers in the middle of the park or play one of his midfielders on the wings or at striker. Either way, expect Bitton in the starting XI.

Callum McGregor

The Celtic captain has been Mr Consistent once again this season and will be expected to line up against Motherwell.

Tom Rogic

Rogic’s recent return from injury has been another boost for the Hoops as he has been brilliant ever since the appointment of Postecoglou as manager.

David Turnbull

Turnbull has played a lot of football for the Hoops this season and that run is expected to continue against Motherwell.

Liel Abada

Many believe that Abada could be the one to carry the goalscoring burden for Celtic in the absence of both Kyogo and Jota. He has not been in great scoring touch in recent months though.

Mikey Johnston

Another player who might need to step up over the upcoming games is Johnston. This might be a huge chance for him to get his Parkhead career back on track.
