Celtic Add Teen Forward Callum Osmand to Europa League Squad After Semi-Final Breakthrough

Celtic used a new UEFA injury-replacement provision to register the 19-year-old following Cameron Carter-VickersAchilles layoff.

Overview

  • Osmand scored the clinching goal in the 3-1 Premier Sports Cup semi-final win over Rangers, just his second senior appearance since joining from Fulham.
  • The club announced his inclusion in their Europa League list after confirming Carter-Vickers faces a lengthy absence with an Achilles injury.
  • UEFA’s updated rule allows a club to add an unregistered outfield player when a squad member suffers a long-term injury.
  • Osmand did not play under Brendan Rodgers but has earned opportunities under interim manager Martin O’Neill.
  • A European debut away to Midtjylland is possible this week if he is selected, and Celtic meet St Mirren in the League Cup final in December with a permanent manager search ongoing.
