Anthony Ralston

Ralston came up with a big moment in the game against Dundee FC as well as he produced the match winning assist for Giakoumakis’ hattrick goal. And it is safe to say that the Hoops will need a few big moments here.

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Celtic will be depending on Carter-Vickers to be solid at the back on this occasion. While they need to find the back of the net more than once, they cannot afford to concede goals.

Carl Starfelt

It has been a step forward and then one back for Starfelt this season. He has failed to impress in his past few appearances but is expected to retain his place.

Josip Juranovic

Juranovic might have to start at left-back once again as it is unlikely that Greg Taylor will be given a start against Bodo/Glimt after his performance in the first leg.

Callum McGregor

McGregor will need to put in a captain’s performance if Celtic are to get anything out of this game.

Reo Hatate

Hatate was surprisingly left out of the starting XI in the first leg. Hopefully, he will be able to make a difference on this occasion.

Tom Rogic

At this point of time, while Matt O’Riley is a solid option as well, Rogic just looks like he is capable of coming up with a moment of magic that others can’t.

Liel Abada

Abada was given a rest at the weekend against Dundee FC and will hopefully be fresh to make an impact against Bodo/Glimt.

Giorgos Giakoumakis

Giakoumakis was left out of the starting XI against Bodo/Glimt in the first leg. But after his hattrick against Dundee FC at the weekend, one would expect the Greek striker to be the one leading the line.

Jota

Another player that Celtic will be looking towards to hopefully produce a moment or two of magic.
