Celtic begin a potentially season-defining seven days as LASK visit Celtic Park for the first leg of the Champions League play-off.
We look ahead to *Celtic v LASK* with our predicted starting XI and the major selection decisions facing Martin O’Neill ahead of one of the biggest games of the season.
With Arne Engels gone, Alistair Johnston injured and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain suspended, could new signing Mika Baur be handed his first Celtic Park start alongside Callum McGregor and Benjamin Nygren?
We also look at Colby Donovan’s huge test at right-back, the Carter-Vickers and Trusty partnership, and how Celtic’s increasingly dangerous attack could exploit the Austrian champions.
Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren and Kasper Høgh have all made encouraging starts to the season — and after Celtic’s Champions League qualifying failures in recent years, having genuine goals throughout the team could make all the difference.
