What is the latest Celtic team news?
Rodgers will lead the side in Ireland but has hinted at a majorly rotated squad with young players and fringe stars to be given a chance to shine.
“I’ll be there,” Rodgers said. “I’ll be taking the team. That plan was in place a few months back.
“Obviously we’ll need to recover some players. But there’s going to be a number of players that need games. So it will be a mixture of our first-team players in the squad and also some of our young players, because it’s my chance to see them.
“But yes, we’ll go over there, always great to go back home. And then we’ll prepare them for Aberdeen.”
Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers are both set to miss the friendly fixture. Greg Taylor missed the tie against Ross County and is unlikely to be involved.
“Ali won’t go with the international team, so that gives us a chance to recover him, because he’s been working very well,” Rodgers said.
“Cam will be joining training later on in this week and then have a good week leading into Aberdeen. So that’s good.
“Greg, we will just have to wait and see. But on that I thought young Alex Valle did well (against Ross County). Especially the second half, his positioning was a little bit better.
“But Greg, we hope he’ll be back, if not for Aberdeen, then not long after that.”
