Celtic squad revealed as Ange Postecoglou faces key Jota decision for Aberdeen clash

Yosuke Ideguchi will miss out against Aberdeen as he nears a return to full fitness.

But it's mostly as you were for Ange Postecoglou as he faces a number of key decisions ahead of the long trip north.

Celtic still have a few injury concerns to worry about with key duo Kyogo Furuhashi and David Turnbull out for now.

But gone are the days where two absences are a disaster as the Hoops' January business means they are well covered in virtually every area.

Callum McGregor and Reo Hatate are near-guaranteed to start in midfield while it would be hard to drop Tom Rogic after his deadly double against Motherwell.

And it's the same in the forward line with each of Daizen Maeda, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Liel Abada looking good.

Jota however will be hoping to force his way in after he netted the key winner in the earlier Pittodrie clash.

At the back Christopher Jullien may be hoping for a return after Postecoglou confirmed he is fully fit but dislodging one of settled duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt won't be easy.

Predicted Celtic XI

Postecoglou's side is mostly settled but his full-backs could be any two of Josip Juranovic, Anthony Ralston and Greg Taylor.

The front line may also be rotated with the depth of options there meaning Jota and James Forrest will be keen to get a look in after coming off the bench at the weekend.
