The staff for Celtic vs Rennes
For Celtic, the substitute doorman Scott Bain, and the little used Simunovic and Arzani are still in the infirmary, joined lately by the important Elyounoussi, Bolingoli Mbombo and Hayes and potential holders Elhamed and Bayo. This weekend, the young Frenchman Edouard scored his 10th goal of the season while his attacking counterpart Forrest scored twice and raised his total goals to 8.
With 3 goals, Tavares is the only Burgundian striker to have scored several times in this Ligue 1.
Rennes remain private with summer rookies Guclu and Jonas Martin and substitute Johansson. The young nugget Camavinga is also absent. For this meeting, Stéphan will rotate because of the lack of stake of this part for his men. He left the important Morel, Traore and Niang at home and should launch some young people. Touched in Dijon, Raphinha is on the other hand in the group.
