Celtic starting XI to face FC Utrecht at Paradise | OneFootball

Celtic are in UEFA Europa League action tonight (Thursday) when they play host to FC Utrecht (KO: 8pm).

And Martin O’Neill’s side know that victory against their Dutch opponents will guarantee a place in the play-off round of the competition.

The Celtic manager has made two changes from the team that started against Hearts at Tynecastle at the weekend, with Julian Araujo and Tomas Cvancara dropping out as they’re not included in Celtic’s Europa League squad.

In comes Colby Donovan at right-back, with Sebastian Tounekti in attack, and Daizen Maeda leading the line.
