Celtic is the strongest club in Scotland, successfully playing both in the championship of its country and in European tournaments.
The football club was founded in 1887, much earlier than the most titled clubs in Europe. The composition of FC Celtic is extremely interesting, as it combines completely different players who are able to interact qualitatively with each other. The success of the team in many respects depends on the right decisions of the experienced leadership, which easily finds a common language with each player in the team. In this article we will consider what kind of players are members of the Scottish football club Celtic.
Club players
Most of the club's players have Scottish roots and play for their national team in various tournaments. However, the team also includes players of French, Belgian, Serbian, Norwegian, Croatian, German and English descent. Players have no problems with communication and understanding of each other. They easily communicate in English familiar to everyone. Who is part of the Celtic?
Goalkeepers
The team includes only two goalkeepers - Craig Gordon (pictured above) and Dorus de Vries. The player of the main team is the Scot Gordon. This goalkeeper has been playing for Scottish football clubs all his life. Starting his official career in 2000, he played for the English Sunderland for 5 years. Since 2014, he transferred to the disposal of Celtic.
Dorus de Vries is a Dutch goalkeeper who recently turned 37 years old. His football career has been going on since 1999. From the first minutes on the field he plays infrequently.
Protection and midfield
Very talented and promising young players come to these positions in Celtic. The defender is 27-year-old Dedric Boyata, who spent several seasons in the English Manchester City during his career. The 31-year-old Mikael Lustig, who has been playing for the team since 2012, has not lost ground.
One of the most promising players in the “Celtic” is considered Kiran Tierney, which is currently claimed by the club “Manchester United”.
The teams also play in defense: Scott Sinclair, Lee Griffiths, Jozo Šimunović and Marvin Comper.
As for the midfield, we can distinguish such players as: Scott Brown, Charlie Musonda, Patrick Roberts, Stuart Armstrong, James Forrest and Olivier Ntsham.
Attack
Not many football players are playing as attackers in Celtic. A key player in the attack is the Frenchman Moussa Dembele.
Equally rare is Lee Griffiths, who is able to play as a midfielder. The 27-year-old footballer began his performance in 2006, managed to change 4 clubs and once played for the Scottish Hibernian on loan.
It is also worth noting the young striker Odson Edouard, who belongs to the French club Paris Saint-Germain and has been playing for Celtic on loan since 2017.
