In the Scottish Premiership, the Bhoys hold a three-point lead heading five

pivotal post-split fixtures, starting with a trip to face Dundee this Sunday.

Rodgers’ men also stand 90 minutes away from Scottish Cup glory, with a winner-takes-all clash against Rangers on May 25th rounding off the 2023/24 campaign.

Nevertheless, competitive action doesn’t stop there for a host of Celtic players, who will have a short break before international friendlies take place in June ahead of EURO 2024.

Furthermore, Luis Palma and Alistair Johnston could be involved in Copa America with Honduras and Canada, respectively, allowing Hoops fans to get their football fix during the off-season.

Evaluating our potential candidates to feature at the Euros in Germany, Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley are two names to look out for as squad announcements for the tournament draw closer.

Anthony Ralston and Greg Taylor could find themselves in Steve Clarke’s Scotland plans; meanwhile, Maik Nawrocki, James Forrest, Stephen Welsh and even Paulo Bernardo could be outside contenders to sneak onto the plane.

Several Celtic players may land potential EURO 2024 hopes boost

Cited via STV News, UEFA are set to stick with 26-man squads for the finals this summer despite suggestions that national managers would have to pick 23 individuals for EURO 2024.

COVID-19 prompted the increase in the first place, which the national teams competition committee have voted to keep. In light of this, UEFA’s ruling executive committee could now ratify these proposals later this week.

Earlier this month, a pre-tournament workshop was held among coaches from each participating nation, and the 26-man option was viewed as the desirable outcome by those in attendance.

Conceivably, if these ideas are formalised, there will be a little more room for Celtic representation on the continent, given the likes of Ralston and Taylor are fringe players for Scotland, for example.

Nevertheless, performing at club level will be the priority for those with a shout of heading to Germany, which, in turn, could amplify their prospects of tournament involvement.
