Celtic Champions League squad revealed as Arne Engels and four summer signings make the cut The Hoops face a massive clash against Austrian side LASK in their bid to reach the promised land of the league phase of UEFA's premier competition The Celtic squad for their crunch Champions League showdown with LASK has been confirmed. Martin O'Neill has submitted his 25-man squad for the playoff round of Europe's premier competition. And Arne Engels has made the cut despite undergoing a medical with West Ham. The Belgian is on the brink of a £22million move to the Hammers as they look to make a return to the English Premier League at the first time of asking following last season's relegation. Martin O'Neill had hoped to keep the midfielder for the two matches against the Austrian champions but has admitted defeat on that front. However, he has included Engels in his pool just in case. Alistair Johnston hasn't made it after suffering a hamstring injury. O'Neill confirmed the Canadian international will be missing for a few weeks and that seems to have put the kibosh on a proposed move to Everton. All four of the champions' new signings - Kasper Hogh, Mika Baur, Haissem Hassan and Camilo Duran have been included.
