The 19-year-old Colby Donovan go dey at right-back, fresh face wey dey ready to impress despite say na im first start as senior player.

In midfield, captain Callum McGregor dey lead the team alongside Reo and Benjamin Nygren, wey dey bring balance wey dem need for middle of the park. Up front, Daizen dey run the show despite say im dey think about leaving the club. Time to put in work and prove say im dey worth di hype.
For bench, if anything go wrong, Rodgers fit call on Iheanacho, Engels, and Forrest. As Celtic dey hustle for the trophy, every point na treasure as dem dey fight for supremacy over their rivals, including Hearts wey don dey hold their own after defeating Rangers.
As the game dey kick off, na so we go dey observe the new boys. Colby Donovan’s first start be like a pass mark for im Academy, but e no go sweet if e fall hand under pressure. And Balikwisha go need to step up quick to fit fit meet fans expectations.
As dem dey play, watch out for changes in the second half, maybe some magic go happen. Celtic need to sharpen dem shooting skills, because honestly, na one shot on target wey we see, even ‘Sebo special’ no too impress. We dey pray say dem fit find rhythm quick to avoid fans vex.
