Team news: Celtic vs. Fenerbahce (A)

Celtic will play their final game of the Europa League this season and will hope to end on a high note after a disappointing campaign.

Ronny Deila’s men have only registered two points from five games and haven’t registered a single win at home for the first time ever in European competition.

It could have been a very different story in Group A, had Celtic held on to an early two goal lead they opened up at Paradise in the reverse fixture back in October.

Instead, fans will have to endure a year without European football after Christmas with qualification for next year’s Champions League being the main target.

Fenerbahce will be looking to close out the group with a win and possibly clinch top spot, if Ajax can beat group leaders Molde.

Kris Commons and James Forrest have travelled to Istanbul after recovering from a hamstring problem and a knock. Commons isn’t expected to feature for the full 90 minutes and it’s likely Forrest won’t feature for the entirety of the game either.

Aidan Nesbitt has made the trip to Istanbul with the senior squad after Friday’s 5-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Under-21 Premier League International Cup.

Deila has no fresh injury concerns to worry about, but will have to find a replacement for Scott Brown in midfield, as the skipper recovers from a knee injury. Saidy Janko and Charlie Mulgrew are long-term absentees.

 Robin van Persie was ruled out of the game on Monday with a thigh injury.
