8 Celtic training headlines pave the way for changes fans crave as Oh, Iwata and Nawrocki eye key roles
The Hoops must end their Champions League hangover against the Perth Saints on Sunday.
Baltic, but not beaten Celtic must now stick their European woes in the bin as fans could get the changes they are after against St Johnstone.
It was another night of what ifs for Brendan Rodgers' men on the Champions League stage, but full steam ahead for the Scottish Premiership end of year run-in now begins on the frosty outskirts of Glasgow at Lennoxtown. And the Irishman went for a different look against Lazio with fans now keen to see how the champions respond to a deflating draw with Motherwell before the Europe call came in.
Now could be the time for change in the set-up with talisman Kyogo far from being quelled yet, but the double act with fellow Far East man Oh is a rare card to be played by Rodgers. And what of the backline? With injury returns clear to see, the visit to McDiarmid Park could see a changing of the guard as Record Sport delved in to some of the best snaps from the Hoops training.
Two up top? Nae worries
Celtic fans have been crying out for two up top and delighted Kyogo would no doubt love the chance to bounce off of Oh. A low block could await the champions in Perth and more goals are needed to avoid the drab scenario of a scene like last weekend.
1 of 8Time for Tomoki?
Iwata looks primed to break through a Celtic midfield that has had its fair share of chops and changes. Paulo Bernardo has been the Europe man while Turnbull and Holm have had their go. Maybe it truly is time for Tomoki to enter the fray.
2 of 8Shift that back
And what of some fans call for Liam Scales to be deployed at his usual left back? It's hard to make a case for unseating Greg Taylor but that would give a chance to Maik Nawrocki to come in from the cold. He's not kicked a ball since August.
3 of 8Cold as ice Bull
![]()
He was the man from the spot last weekend to rescue a draw for Celtic. Against his old club the midfielder, was cold as ice and he looks it at Lennoxtown in the freezing conditions. With that third midfield spot open for discussion, a start in Perth is something of a banker one would assume.
