Celtic XI vs LASK - Predicted lineup and team news

Celtic travel to the Raiffeisen Arena on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League qualifying final against Austrian side LASK.

Under Martin O'Neill the Hoops have made a perfect start to the season, winning all four competitive matches so far, scoring 13 goals and conceding just once. Recent results include Premiership wins over Dundee (1-0) and Kilmarnock (5-1), a 4-0 League Cup victory against Dundee United, and a convincing 3-0 first-leg win over LASK.

Celtic team news

Martin O'Neill faces some late selection concerns. Centre-back Auston Trusty missed the last training session with a stomach bug, leaving Liam Scales ready to partner Cameron Carter‑Vickers in defence if needed.

Celtic are also thin at full-back after regular right-back Alistair Johnston was sidelined until October with a hamstring problem; academy graduate Colby Donovan is again expected to fill in.

In midfield and attack the team will be without the suspended Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain, while winger Jota remains out long-term as he recovers from a serious cruciate ligament injury.
