Celtic starting XI to face YB Bern in UCL clash at Paradise

It’s set to be an electric night at Celtic Park this evening as the Hoops face Swiss champions, YB Bern under the Paradise lights in the penultimate match of the UEFA Champions League league phase. Brendan Rodgers’ side know that, after a strong UCL campaign so far, a victory over YBB tonight could be enough to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League knockout phase, with a trip to Villa Park still to come next week. And ahead of tonight’s huge European match, Brendan Rodgers has named the same team that started against Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup on Saturday. Auston Trusty and Cameron Carter-Vickers start in central defence for the Hoops, whilst Arne Engels, Reo Hatate and Callum McGregor make up the heart of the Celts’ midfield. Nicolas Kühn and Daizen Maeda start in the wide positions this evening, with Kyogo leading the line for the Scottish champions.
