5 things we spotted at Celtic training as man of the moment Giorgos Giakoumakis holds court

Celtic went through their final preparations on Wednesday ahead of a do-or-die trip to face Bodo/Glimt.

The Parkhead side trail 3-1 from their Europa Conference League play-off round first leg and must lay it all on the line in Norway if they are to reach the last 16.

They're expected to face treacherous conditions in the Arctic Circle and must also contend with a plastic pitch at Bodo's Aspmyra Stadium.

But nothing in continental competition ever comes easy and the tie is still very much alive.

Here's five things we spotted from the session at Lennoxtown.

It's a tough one for any manager, finding that balance between badly needing goals but knowing any concession at the other end is most likely fatal.

But Ange Postecoglou has championed this Celtic team's defiance in the face of adversity and, on Thursday, he needs them to do it again.

With an unrelenting fixture schedule, would he be tempted to mix things up in search of a result, or task the side who couldn't get the job done at home with putting things right?

The Celtic boss looked deep in thought at Lennoxtown earlier, perhaps pondering that very question.

The emergence of Jota and Liel Abada, plus yet more troublesome injuries, has forced James Forrest into the background at Celtic since the New Year.

The Scotland international started the first two matches of 2022 but has been used sparingly since, not featuring at all during Sunday's dramatic win over Dundee.

But with Jota and Abada a little off colour in last week's first leg, could he get a chance to impress against Bodo?

Forrest has been a consistent deliverer of big goals throughout his Celtic career, and there's certainly a few needed on Thursday.
