Celtic will aim to pick up their first Europa League points of the season when they welcome Spanish outfit Celta Vigo to Parkhead this Thursday night (kick-off: 8pm).
Martin O’Neill’s men have lost both their opening games in the competition against Ferencvaros and Benfica, but will head into the game against their La Liga opponents with confidence, having destroyed title rivals Hearts 7-1 at Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon.
As for their opponents, Celta Vigo, they’re also looking for their first Europa League points of the campaign. Back-to-back defeats against Omonoia and Juventus mean they are narrowly ahead of Celtic in 28th place on goal difference. However, they were also buoyed by a positive weekend result in the league as they ran out 2-1 winners at home to Alaves.
