Celtic have announced their starting line-up which will take on Wiener SC in the pre-season tour of Austria.
The most notable news is that Marian Shved will make his long-awaited debut for the Hoops.
Return for cup hero
There is also a return for Scottish Cup Final hero Odsonne Edouard, and Scotland’s Player of the year James Forrest makes a start.
Interestingly, Jack Hendry makes a return to the starting line-up, partnering Jozo Simunovic in defence.
Player fans will be most interested to see
The player the fans will be most interested in seeing is Shved though. He comes with a good pedigree, having scored 15 goals last season for Karparty Lviv.
It would be a surprise to see Shved last the full game, as it is a friendly there may be a host of changes. Fans will also be pleased that Edouard and Forrest, two of the key men of last season have returned to the side.
Unsurprisingly, there is no place in the squad for Christopher Jullien, hopefully he will be involved in Tuesday’s friendly against St Gallen.
Mikey Johnston starred in Celtic’s last friendly, the 6-1 win over SC Pinkafeld. It is no surprise to see him keep his place in the side. Perhaps an early indication from Neil Lennon that he will be a key man for the Hoops next season.
For the game against Wiener SC though, it is all about Shved. Hopefully he has a debut to remember.
