Celtic host Beşiktaş on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Parkhead in matchday four of the UEFA Europa League league phase.

Celtic remain without injured players Alistair Johnston, Auston Trusty, Yang Hyun-jun, and Joël van den Berg, while Beşiktaş defender Ümit Akdağ is suspended. Former Celtic forward Oh Hyeon-gyu is in contention to start for the Turkish side, with author Ben Gray predicting a 2-0 victory for Beşiktaş.
