Latest Celtic vs RB Leipzig squad information
Brendan Rodgers has three more options on Saturday with Adam Idah returning from the bench, captain Callum McGregor starting after a groin injury, and Nicolas Kuhn returning to goal. Kuhn could partner Kyogo Furuhashi, who has scored three goals in his last four Champions League games at Parkhead.
Kasper Schmeichel, the home goalkeeper, has only three other goalkeepers made more saves (12) this season and will be looking to keep a fifth consecutive clean sheet on his 38th birthday. However, he could struggle against Leipzig's attack, with Lois Openda having been involved in six Bundesliga goals and Benjamin Sesko contributing five, along with three in the Champions League.
Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi has kept 510 minutes of clean sheets in the league since the end of August, a new club record. The visitors will be without David Raum (ankle), Xaver Schlager (knee), Castello Lukeba (thigh), and Xavi Simons (ankle) through injury, but Nicolas Seiwald returns to the bench after recovering from a thigh injury.

Latest football commentary Celtic vs RB Leipzig
Celtic suffered a 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their first away game but bounced back strongly, keeping a clean sheet in their most recent draw with Atalanta BC. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made seven important saves as Celtic earned a point in a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava.
Celtic now have four points in their Champions League campaign, the equivalent of the entire 2023 season, and are in the top 24, qualifying for the playoffs if they maintain that position. On Saturday, they reached the Scottish League Cup final after a 6-0 win over Aberdeen, with Daizen Maeda scoring a hat-trick.
Celtic have won nine of their 10 Scottish Premiership games, drawing just once. The defeat to Dortmund was their only defeat in their last 24 games, while the Glasgow side have won just one of their last 16 meetings with Bundesliga sides.
Leipzig have lost all three of their Champions League games this season by one goal and rely heavily on Benjamin Sesko, who scored all three of their goals from 10 shots. They recently ended their 19-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga with a 2-1 defeat to Dortmund, but have been in good form, conceding just five goals domestically and reaching the last 16 of the DFB-Pokal. However, it remains to be seen whether they can continue that form in the Champions League.
