Celtic vs Besiktas injury news: 6 outs and 5 doubts as Hoops seek European lifeline
Celtic need a win to revive their Europa League campaign as Martin O'Neill manages six confirmed absences and five more players in doubt.
- Celtic hosts Besiktas at Parkhead on Thursday, searching for their first Europa League points after three successive defeats left them second-bottom of the 36-team table with zero points.
- Scrutiny on manager Martin O'Neill intensified after Celtic's 2-0 Scottish Premiership defeat to Falkirk on Sunday, compounding pressure from losses to Ferencvaros, Benfica, and Celta Vigo in the competition.
- Celtic faces significant selection challenges, with the Canada right-back ruled out until after the international break following a 13-minute comeback against Hibs. The South Korean winger's return to training this week will likely come too soon for Thursday.
- Besiktas arrives in Glasgow in considerably stronger position with seven points from three matches, though they remain without their influential captain due to a plantar fascia tear expected to sideline him until mid-November.
- Meanwhile, the former Rangers winger is fit to face Celtic after recovering from a knee knock sustained last month against Istanbul Basaksehir. Other squad members remain doubtful due to flu and unspecified injury concerns.
