Celtic have confirmed their Champions League squad with the group stage fixtures set to get underway next week.
Brendan Rodgers has named his 25-man strong squad and with homegrown rules in place, he has had some difficult decisions to make.
New signings Gustaf Lagerbielke, Nat Phillips and Luis Palma have all made the cut, but Marco Tillo and Maik Nawrocki miss out.
Confirmed squad: Joe Hart, Scott Bain, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Alexandro Bernabei, Greg Taylor, Stephen Welsh, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Nat Phillips, Anthony Ralston, Alistair Johnston, Tomoki Iwata, Matt O’Riley, Callum McGregor, David Turnbull, Reo Hatate, Odin Holm, Yang, Palma, Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi, Hyeongyu Oh, Liel Abada.
Rodgers' side will take on Feyenoord, Atletico Madrid, and Lazio in the group stage of the 2023/24 competition.
The Hoops were drawn from Pot 4 in Monaco and have been handed a tough group, but certainly not the worst possible.
As per usual, group stage matches will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from September through to December.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
