Star defender and teenage sensation make trip to Limerick

Teenage sensation Jack Aitchison has been included in the squad for Celtic’s trip to Ireland to face Inter Milan.

Aitchison turned 16 back in March, and scored on the final day of last season against Motherwell in Ronny Deila’s send off at Paradise.

A number of players who are expected to feature in midweek against Hapoel Be’er Sheva including Scott Sinclair haven’t travelled to Limerick and will remain in Glasgow.

Erik Sviatchenko has also been included in the squad and could be given some game time ahead of the Hoops’ crucial Champions League play-off tie.

The Danish defender has been out for several weeks with a groin injury and will hope to return to the team on Wednesday or next Saturday at the latest.

However he won’t walk into the side due to the emergence of Eoghan O’Connell and the arrival of Kolo Toure, meaning he will have to work for a place in Brendan Rodgers’ side that would have been guaranteed for him last season.

Liam Henderson, Dedryck Boyata, Ryan Christie, Stuart Armstrong, Saidy Janko, Jamie McCart, Efe Ambrose and Leo Fasan are among the other players that have made the trip for Celtic’s final International Champions Cup game.
