Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic team to take on Gamba Osaka today.
The Hoops are ramping up their pre-season preparations with the second game of their Japan tour.
They went down 6-4 in a stunning ten-goal thriller against Yokohama F.Marinos earlier this week.
Daizen Maeda played as a central striker in that game and bagged a hat trick.

While at the other end, Joe Hart's performance was called into question with some poor mistakes.
It's a strong-looking line-up for the Scottish champions' second match of the tour, with Rodgers looking to gel his players together further ahead of the new domestic season.
