Celtic now head into the international break after Sunday's narrow win over Kilmarnock, with Liam Scales scoring the all-important winner to make it successive wins heading into the break.

For some players, there will now be time for some much-needed rest after a busy period, but others will be in international action for their respective nations.

Here we take a look at the Celtic internationals for this particular window, keeping in mind Colby Donovan has dropped out of Scotland under-21s action.

Benjamin Nygren – Sweden

- 14 Nov: Sweden vs Bosnia & Herzegovina – 20:45
- 17 Nov: Poland vs Sweden – 20:45

Nygren heads off with Sweden, who have a defining game against Bosnia and Herzegovina first up, currently leading them by two points at the top of their Nations League group. As with all of the Nations League fixtures, these are the final two games of the regular groups, ahead of the finals and promotion/relegation play-offs.

If Sweden can win their next game, they will guarantee top spot, with Poland currently six points behind.

Auston Trusty – USA

- 15 Nov: USA vs Paraguay – 23:00
- 19 Nov: USA vs Uruguay – 01:00

Trusty has not been available recently following the death of his father. He has been called up for USMNT, but it's unclear whether he will still play. Mauricio Pochettino have two friendlies, one with Paraguay and one with Uruguay.

Viljami Sinisalo – Finland

- 12 Nov: Albania vs Finland – 19:45
- 15 Nov: Finland vs San Marino – 18:00

Finland are third in their qualifying group but they have everything to play for, goal-difference behind second-placed Belarus and only two points behind leaders Albania. Sinisalo is unlikely to be the starter, but he will be available for two important games.

Haissem Hassan – Egypt

- 13 Nov: Egypt vs Malawi
- 17 Nov: Malawi vs Egypt

Egypt are in African Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures during this break. They are goal-difference above Angola and one point ahead of Malawi after two games, so a double-header with Malawi could be defining in this qualifying group.

Liam Scales – Republic of Ireland

- 14 Nov: Austria vs Republic of Ireland – 20:45
- 17 Nov: Republic of Ireland vs Kosovo – 20:45

Fresh off the back of scoring Celtic's winner on Sunday, Scales joins Ireland, who are goal-difference behind Kosovo and three points behind leaders Austria going into their last two games. They still have every chance of winning promotion or entering the playoffs.

Kieran Tierney – Scotland


- 13 Nov: Scotland vs North Macedonia – 20:45
- 16 Nov: Switzerland vs Scotland – 20:45

Tierney is back in action for Scotland as they look to secure an unlikely spot in the top two. Realistically speaking, the Tartan Army are likely to finish third in their Nations League group, given they would likely need to win both games and rely on results elsewhere.
