Match Preview
It has been a disappointing start to the Champions League campaign for Celtic, as they currently sit bottom of the Group E standings after losing each of their opening two matches. The Scottish giants have scored just once across their opening two fixtures, and they have allowed a Group E-high of four goals.
Celtic have struggled in the Champions League in recent seasons, evident from the fact that they have landed a victory on just one occasion in their previous 23 matches. They are also winless in their last 12 overall, and have gone eleven home matches without landing victory.
