Ahead of Celtic’s Champions League group stage game against Manchester City, 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.
Celtic hammered Kilmarnock 6-1 at the weekend at Paradise and will look to can an upset against Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Premier League leaders are currently top of the table, and have won all 10 games they’ve played so far.
Last time our an untried 5-4-1 formation didn’t work against Barcelona, so we should go back to what we know.
To understand our prediction you need to also need to see the latest team news ahead of the game. Here’s our predicted team in a 4-2-3-1 formation for Wednesday night.
