On Bank Holiday Monday, Celtic travel up the M6 to Lancaster to face Lancaster City. Lancaster were promoted into the Northern Premier League after winning the Norther Premier Division One North with twenty-seven wins out of forty=two games, scoring 43 goals. There will be a match centre and Twitter feed for this game.
This season, Lancaster are yet to lose, having drawn four and won one of their opening five games. They are yet to win at home, and their only win was on the opening day when they beat Buxton away 2-1. Their two home matches were against Warrington Town and Mickleover Sports, and they finished 2-2 and 1-1 respectively. They've only failed to score once this season, when Farsley Celtic were held to a goalless draw at Farsley by Lancaster, and that game is the only clean sheet they've kept so far too.
Lancaster's top scorer last season was Jordan Connerton, who scored twenty-eight goals. On average they scored their seventy-three goals at a rate of 1.74 goals per game, whilst they conceded their forty-one goals at just under a goal per game.
In Lancaster's last match, the 1-1 away draw at Hednesford Town, they lined up as:
1. Josh Powell
2. Ben Hudson
3. Paul Dugdale
4. Glenn Steele
5. Gavin Clarke
6. Richard Mercer
7. Ryan Winder
8. Simon Wills
9. Tom Kilfin
10. Hannu Tam
11. Scott Harries
In Celtic's last match, the 1-0 home defeat to Shaw Lane, Celtic lined up as:
1. Joe Slinn
2. Lassana Mendes
3. Joe Garvin
4. Andrew Langford
5. Luke Ashworth
6. Alex Honeyball
7. Theo Bailey-Jones
8. Oli Roberts
9. Aaron Burns
10. Jake Charles
11. Greg Wilkinson
Celtic are now in a four game losing streak and have not scored since Aaron Burns found the net twenty minutes into Whitby defeat.
Celtic lost both fullbacks against Shaw Lane, both will need assessing ahead of Monday's game. Hopefully, Danny Morton will be available for selection again after his recent injury.
