Three Celtic Stars Could Be in Action Tonight — Here’s Who to Watch

The international break is usually something I dread as a Celtic supporter, particularly when we’re starting to build a bit of momentum.

After the wins over Beşiktaş and Kilmarnock, I’d much rather see the team back in action this weekend. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until November 21 when St Mirren visit Celtic Park.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to keep an eye on tonight.

Three Celtic players could feature for their countries, and there are some interesting storylines to follow.

First up is Kieran Tierney

He could make his return to Scotland action when they face North Macedonia at Hampden.

Kick-off is 7:45pm, and it will be interesting to see how much involvement Tierney gets after missing the previous international camp through injury.

For Celtic, the biggest thing is getting him through the international break fit and healthy. We know what he can offer when he’s playing regularly, and having him available for the remainder of the season could be massive.

Then there is Haissem Hassan

He has been called up by Egypt for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Malawi.

Egypt play tonight at 7pm, with Hassan hoping to feature under new manager Ali Maher. It’s an interesting opportunity for the Celtic winger, particularly after questions about his involvement at club level.

I would love to see him get some minutes and build a bit of confidence. We haven’t seen enough of him in a Celtic shirt yet, and international football could give him a chance to remind everyone what he can offer.

Finally, Camilo Durán

He could be involved when Colombia take on Chile in a friendly.

Durán has already made his senior international debut, and another appearance would be a fantastic achievement after his start to life at Celtic.

Colombia kick off at midnight UK time, so it might be a late one for anyone wanting to watch him.

There are other Celtic players to follow over the coming days, including Liam Scales, Benjamin Nygren, Viljami Sinisalo and Auston Trusty.

But tonight gives us three particular names to keep an eye on.

I’m hoping they all get opportunities, enjoy themselves and, most importantly, return to Glasgow without any injuries.

We’ve got plenty to look forward to when domestic football returns.

For now, I’ll be keeping an eye on the international scores and hoping our Bhoys do us proud.
