Martin O’Neill has named his Celtic team for this evening’s UEFA Champions League Playoff Second Leg against LASK. The Scottish Champions are in Linz as they look to make it through to the League Phase of Europe’s premier competition.

There are no surprises in the Celtic team with the same XI as six days ago at Celtic Park, where the Scottish Champions won 3-0.

Vil Sinisalo starts in nets. The Finnish stopper was composed during the first leg win and is moving to establish himself as the No.1 after assuming the role in March.

In defence, Auston Trusty has shaken off a stomach issue and will start in the central pairing with Cameron Carter-Vickers. Kieran Tierney starts at left-back and Colby Donovan at right-back.

Mika Baur starts alongside skipper Callum McGregor with Benji Nygren in the advanced role.

Kasper Hogh leads the line with Camilo Duran and Yang in the wide areas.

Celtic: Sinisalo, Donovan, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Tierney, McGregor, Baur, Nygren, Yang, Duran, Hogh.

Subs: Doohan, Scales, Balikwisha, McCowan, Tounekti, Osmand, Hassan, Kenny, Hatate, Murray, Forrest, Ralston.

Celtic are 90 minutes away from the riches of the UCL and they will be eager to secure passage to the next phase. MON will have his eye on a number of players should the Hoops progress.
