Preview: Utrecht v Celtic

by setanta.com staff , 25 August 2010

Glenn Loovens and Cha Du-Ri are available for the second leg of Celtic’s Europa League playoff tie with FC Utrecht.


The Bhoys lead 2-0 ahead of the second leg in the Netherlands and are boosted by the return of the defensive duo, who missed Sunday’s 4-0 win over St Mirren in the SPL.

Loovens, a Dutch international, and South Koraen World Cup star Cha both had hamstring injuries, but have made the trip as the Bhoys look to finish off the job and extend their European season after their earlier Champions League woe against Braga.

Another back player, Jos Hooiveld, is also available after he was suspended for the first leg, but Charlie Mulgrew, Mark Wilson, Thomas Rogne and Andreas Hinkel are all still out.

Manager Neil Lennon has said he wants an early goal in Utrecht as he looks to avoid a nervy finish for his side.

Celtic (from): Zaluska, Hooiveld, Majstorovic, Juarez, Brown, Ledley, Kayal, Ki, Samaras, McCourt, Fortune, Murphy, Forrest, Maloney, Cervi, Loovens, Cha, Misun, Twardzik, Towell.
