Abada, O'Riley, Oh, Haksabanovic and Iwata came on as subs for Maeda, Hatate, Kyogo, Jota and Mooy.
It was only the 4th time this season Celtic played with an unchanged starting 11. However it was the first time that unchanged starting 11 had the same 9 on the bench also and it was the first time that the starting 11 and 5 subs used were the same two games in a row.

Mooy had an xA of 0.39, McGregor had 0.16 and Taylor had 0.15.
