Celtic players at the 2026 World Cup

Celtic supporters will still be celebrating their side's dramatic Scottish Premiership title triumph well into the summer months, but many will also be keeping tabs on their array of stars heading Stateside.

The Bhoys somehow edged Hearts to the top-flight title on an exhilarating final day of action north of the border last month, pipping their rivals to top spot courtesy of a 3-1 victory over the long-term league leaders at Parkhead.

But no sooner had Martin O'Neill's men been holding aloft the coveted silverware, several members of the squad had began to turn their attentions towards this summer's World Cup finals.

Historically, the Bhoys have always been well represented at FIFA's showpiece competition, and this year's staging is no different.

Find out below how many players of a Celtic persuasion will be taking centre stage for their respective countries over the next few weeks.
