Celtic - Juve : all about the game

Mallenco ref for Celtic-Juventus


Spaniard Alberto Undiano Mallenco will officiate Celtic-Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

UEFA announced the referee for the first leg of their Round of 16 encounter in Glasgow.

There are also reports that Kwadwo Asamoah will fly straight to Scotland from the African Cup of Nations.

Paolo De Ceglie is expected to miss out after picking up a muscular problem in the 2-0 win over Fiorentina.

However, there are more reassuring rumours around Mirko Vucinic, who limped off in the same match clutching his knee.

Juventus squad for Celtic


Juventus have named a 22-man squad against Celtic, including Mirko Vucinic and Kwadwo Asamoah, but Paolo De Ceglie has a thigh strain.

The Bianconeri beat Fiorentina 2-0 in Serie A on Saturday and De Ceglie limped off, now diagnosed with a first-to-second degree tear in the right thigh muscle.

Vucinic also picked up a knock to his knee in that game, but is in the squad travelling to Glasgow for Tuesday’s Champions League tie.

Asamoah also returns from African Cup of Nations duty, as his experience in the tournament with Ghana is now completed.

The midfielder is flying straight to Scotland from Africa to reunite with his teammates.

Nicolas Anelka is also included, though the January signing is yet to make his Juventus debut.

Juventus squad for Celtic: 1 Buffon, 4 Caceres, 6 Pogba, 8 Marchisio, 9 Vucinic, 12 Giovinco, 13 Peluso, 15 Barzagli, 18 Anelka, 19 Bonucci, 20 Padoin, 21 Pirlo, 22 Asamoah, 23 Vidal, 24 Giaccherini, 26 Lichtsteiner, 27 Quagliarella, 30 Storari, 32 Matri, 33 Isla, 34 Rubinho, 39 Marrone
