Three Celtic players who must earn more starts after the break, including Shim Mheuka

Celtic and manager Martin O’Neill face strategic adjustments during the international break following difficulties across their attacking and midfield ranks. To counter recent struggles, an analysis by 67 Hail Hail highlighted three squad members who should receive more starting opportunities once Scottish Premiership action resumes: Chelsea loanee Shim Mheuka, deadline-day signing Joel van den Berg, and experienced midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Mheuka has impressed during substitute appearances, while Van den Berg, who arrived from PSV, has seen limited action seemingly due to injury. Meanwhile, Oxlade-Chamberlain has logged only 26 minutes since previously starting three consecutive victories, presenting an alternative to rest key midfield figures like Callum McGregor.
