The two sides battled out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Celtic Park a fortnight ago as Brendan Rodgers' side collected their first point in Group E at the third attempt following defeats away to Feyenoord and at home to Lazio.

A positive result in the Metropolitano Stadium would help Celtic breathe life back into their campaign, but they face a tough task against an Atletico side with a formidable home record and a European pedigree that includes three Europa League titles since 2010 and two losing Champions League final appearances under manager Diego Simeone.

Celtic go into the match on the back of a 5-0 win at Ross County which cemented their place at the top of the Scottish Premiership, while Madrid suffered a 2-1 defeat at Las Palmas on Friday which ended a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions and left them fourth in La Liga, six points behind leaders Girona.

The two clubs have a controversial past. Atletico beat Celtic in the 1974 European Cup semi-finals following two brutal encounters. The Spanish side had three men sent off and seven others booked as they fought their way to a goalless first-leg draw in Glasgow with Hoops winger Jimmy Johnstone coming in for some particularly vicious treatment. Celtic’s only yellow card went to Dixie Deans before police had to intervene during a post-match altercation in the tunnel. Celtic fans were advised not to travel to the second leg, which Atletico won 2-0. Atletico also came out on top against Celtic on their way to the final of the 1985-86 European Cup Winners’ Cup and beat the Hoops home and away in the Europa League just before Simeone was appointed.
