Celtic Exchange Weekly: Champions League Crunch Time | Are Celtic Ready For LASK?

Celtic Exchange: Celtic Football Club in Focus

Show Notes

Celtic are just three games into the new season - but already the biggest test of the campaign is upon us.

Austrian champions LASK arrive at Celtic Park on Wednesday night for the first leg of our Champions League play-off, and the big question is simple: are Celtic ready - or are we gambling once again?

With Arne Engels now a West Ham player, gaps still remaining in the squad and several new signings only just through the door, Tino, James and Paddy assess where Celtic stand ahead of a massive European night.

We look at the threat posed by an in-form LASK side, debate whether Celtic have enough firepower to take control of the tie at home, and ask whether Mika Baur could be thrown straight into the starting XI.

Elsewhere, Benji Nygren's flying start comes under the spotlight after 3 goals and 3 assists in his opening 3 games, while we discuss the uncertain futures of others such as Reo Hatate and Tony Ralston following a summer of major squad turnover.

🎙️ It's a huge week for Celtic - and we cover it all in this latest Celtic Exchange Weekly.
