We now know the bulk of the Celtic squad that are travelling to Dublin to take on Wolves at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow, with some new Bhoys included in the group.
Fan podcast group The Cynic were at the stadium today and saw the team leave on a coach towards their flight across the Irish Sea for Saturday’s 2pm kick-off.
They’ve helpfully uploaded some pictures to Twitter this evening so we can get a sense of who has travelled with Brendan Rodgers and the coaching staff.
Most encouragingly it appears that South Korean duo Hyeokkyu Kwon and Hyunjun Yang have made the trip just a few short days after officially signing for the club. It would be exciting for fans to get a glimpse of them at some stage during the 90 minutes.
Also seen in the photos were Joe Hart, Scott Bain, Ben Siegrist, Stephen Welsh, Alexandro Bernabei, Sead Haksabanovic, Bosun Lawal, Daizen Maeda, Ben McPherson, Liam Scales, David Turnbull, Callum McGregor, Greg Taylor, Liel Abada, Matt O’Riley, Hyeongyu Oh and Tomoki Iwata.
That’s 19 in total and no doubt there are others not pictured also making their way to the game with the group. So, if you don’t see a name listed do not be too concerned about injuries or fitness issues as there’s a good chance they just weren’t snapped!
Wolves are set to provide a stiff test for the Bhoys. Rodgers’ squad are a bit ahead of them in preparations but the Premier League outfit have come through an overseas training camp and some friendlies of their own already.
Thousands are expected at the Aviva with strong followings for both Celtic and Wanderers. Hopefully, a bit of atmosphere is created to accompany what should be an open, exciting encounter.
The match is being shown to all subscribers of Celtic TV and will also be broadcast on Viaplay Sport.
