Celtic has confirmed its Europa League squad after the close of the UEFA registration deadline, with Martin O’Neill naming 25 players for the club’s European campaign. The list gives a clear view of the Hoops’ available options for the matches ahead, and it includes a mix of established names, experienced campaigners and new faces.
The squad contains three goalkeepers and nine defenders, underlining how the roster has been shaped for the demands of European competition. In goal, Celtic included Viljami Sinisalo, Ross Doohan and Josh Johnstone. The defensive group features Alistair Johnston, Jordan Lotomba, Liam Scales, Auston Trusty, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Dane Murray, Colby Donovan, Anthony Ralston and Kieran Tierney.
Midfield and attack options
Further forward, Martin O’Neill selected Callum McGregor, Benjamin Nygren, Luke McCowan, Oliver Sørensen, Mika Baur, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sebastian Tounekti, Yang Hyun-jun, Hassan, Callum Osmand, James Forrest, Kasper Høgh and Camilo Durán. That combination gives Celtic a broad spread of experience and fresh additions as the Europa League campaign begins to take shape.
For Celtic, the deadline means the roster is now set for Europe, leaving little uncertainty about who will be available in the competition. It is also a useful snapshot of the club’s current depth, especially with players such as Callum McGregor and James Forrest again part of the European group.
The squad announcement comes as part of a wider football moment in which Jota has remained a name many fans are following closely. Related coverage has tracked Cristiano Ronaldo honoring Diogo Jota after Portugal’s win, Portugal carrying Diogo Jota’s death into a World Cup match with Croatia, and Rúben Neves carrying Diogo Jota into Portugal’s World Cup push. Against that backdrop, Celtic’s confirmed European squad offers a separate but equally firm piece of news: the Hoops now know exactly who will represent them in the Europa League.
With the registration deadline passed, the next step is straightforward. Celtic’s European group is locked in, and Martin O’Neill has now settled on the 25 players who will carry the club through the campaign.
