We don’t often write this but Charlie Nicholas has tipped Celtic to win a game of football outside of the SPFL. Can you believe it?

I don’t know if that should make us happy or a little bit worried about Thursday night.

The former Celtic star turned Sky Sports pundit is usually much more critical and reserved when it comes to tipping his old side for a win in Europe.

What’s more he has gave some credit to Odsonne Edoaurd – even if it feels a little like a backhanded compliment.

“Odsonne Edouard enjoys these types of games, so he will want to play well and show his credentials. Lazio are well organised and are great on the counter-attack.” Nicholas told SkySports.

“The crowd are something else on these nights so I think Celtic could just nick it.”

Celtic go into the game top of Group E with four points from their first two matches.

Nicholas tipped Celtic to get beat against Rennes and in reality the bhoys were unlucky not to come away with all three points on the night. Maybe that’s why his tip is concerning us – just a little!

The game is scheduled for Thursday night and even though it will be a cold October’s evening it will be red hot in the East End of Glasgow.
