Gary Hooper completed his move to Celtic from Scunthorpe this week
LOUGHTON-born striker Gary Hooper could make his first appearance for Scottish giants Celtic tonight in the club's Champions League third qualifying round first leg match against Portuguese side Braga.
Hooper, who signed for £2.4million from Scunthorpe this week, is unlikely to start the game, as he is short on match practice, but is likely to be named on the substitutes bench.
Celtic will be looking for at least an away goal against Braga to take back to Celtic Park next Wednesday.
Hooper, 22, could feature in this coming weekend's Emirates Cup, in which Celtic will take on Arsenal and Lyon.
