Tonight’s tie was always going to be the big one when the draw was made for Celtic’s group. A predictable sold-out Celtic Park tonight will create the kind of atmosphere that Celtic fans are now famous for worldwide.
Celtic have looked unstoppable this season when they have been firing on all cylinders and fans will be hoping that Neil Lennon’s selection tonight produces another attacking performance and a positive result.
The Bhoys will take any kind of win tonight as the Hoops have not managed a win against an Italian side in any competition in their last nine attempts. Their last win came against Milan in 2007/2008 Champions League.
Lennon’s team selection tonight has not thrown up one surprise. The majority of Celtic fans would have picked this exact starting eleven tonight. While fans are desperate to see more of Frimpong in the Hoops, the re-introduction of Elhamed makes perfect sense for tonight’s opposition.
In midfield, Ryan Christie comes back into the team after he sat out Celtic’s 6-0 win at the weekend through suspension.
