Jullien And Sinclair To Start: Celtic’s Predicted XI To Face FK Sarajevo Tonight

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has a number of injury concerns heading into tonight’s Champions League qualifier second leg against FK Sarajevo.

Boli Bolingoli Mbombo and Mikey Johnston have been added to the list of absentees, alongside the likes of Kieran Tierney, Olivier Ntcham, Maryan Shved, Vakoun Issouf Bayo, Daniel Arzani, Eboue Kouassi and Jack Hendry.

Christopher Jullien is, however, likely to get his first competitive start for the club, after playing in the 0-0 friendly draw against Rennes at the weekend.

Lennon only has Anthony Ralston to call upon to play at right-back so it’s likely that Kristoffer Ajer will continue to play out of position, with Nir Bitton likely to make way for Jullien.

With Johnston out injured and having scored against Sarajevo, Scott Sinclair is expected to come back into the starting lineup this evening, with Jonny Hayes likely to deputise for Bolingoli Mbombo:

Celtic’s Predicted XI TO Face FK Sarajevo:

Bain, Ajer, Simunovic, Jullien, Hayes, Forrest, Brown, Christie, McGregor, Sinclair, Edouard

Predicted Score – 3-0 (6-1 on aggregate)
