Ahead of Celtic’s play-off tie against Hapoel Be’er Sheva, we at Read Celtic will role-play (not that kind) and predict the starting XI.
We will be playing the role of Brendan Rodgers, and choosing the starting XI and how the team are expected to line-up on the pitch.
It also includes a bit of insight into what we expect from each player, and what they can do to make the difference.
After mauling Motherwell 5-0 at Paradise last Wednesday, Celtic’s key players had the luxury of a full week’s recovery due to the ICC game against Inter Milan.
Celtic are just 180 minutes of football away from returning to the Champions League group stages and standing in their way is the Israeli champions Be’er Sheva.
They overcame Olympiakos in the last round of qualification while the Hoops progressed following a last minute penalty from Moussa Dembele.
To understand our prediction you need to see the latest team news. Here’s our predicted XI for Wednesday evening’s game.
