Hapoel Be'er Sheva v Celtic: Team news for the Champions League play-off
Wednesday 24 August 2016 07:20, UK
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers may make a couple of changes to his team for the Champions League playoff against Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Tuesday.
On-loan Manchester City winger winger Patrick Roberts has recovered from a hamstring injury he suffered in Celtic's 2-1 victory over Astana in the previous qualifying round.
And Roberts is likely to feature at the Turner Stadium, with Celtic going into the second-leg in Israel holding a 5-2 advantage from last week.
Central defender Erik Sviatchenko has been out of action with a knee injury since the 3-0 win over Lincoln Red Imps in July.
The Denmark international was among the substitutes for the 4-2 victory over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Saturday, and although he remained on the bench Sviatchenko could start beside Kolo Toure.
Goalkeeper Dorus de Vries has been included in the Hoops squad following his recent arrival from Nottingham Forest, but is not expected to replace Craig Gordon and will be on the bench.
Israel international Nir Bitton, who came on for the last 30 minutes of the first leg and was instrumental in Celtic's fourth goal, played for an hour in Perth and may be preferred to Callum McGregor.
