CELTIC take on Sparta Prague this Thursday in a make or break tie at Celtic Park.

There will be no crowds again but the bhoys must find the fighting spirit which has served them well in the past two games against Lille and Aberdeen.

With our TWO centre backs still out in Christopher Jullien and Kristoffer Ajer our defence pretty much picks itself.

However, I’m predicting Jeremie Frimpong might be given the night off or at least brought on later as a substitute if Elhamed proves his fitness ahead of Thursday.

Jeremie has played non-stop this season and taking him out to keep him fresh, and making sure he isn’t jaded might be well worth a shout.

I’d expect Bain to start again, but you never know. Neil Lennon has said Bain has an opportunity but will he give Barkas the gloves back for Europe?

The manager has also conceded in recent times he wants to manage Tom Rogic’s fitness and will refrain from playing him in multiple games per week, that’s why Ntcham is likely to start.
