Celtic will welcome Ferencvaros to Celtic Park on Thursday for their first Europa League fixture of the campaign.
The Hoops will be hoping to respond strongly after suffering a painful 3-0 defeat to fierce rivals Rangers in the Scottish League Cup last weekend. Their recent European campaign also ended in disappointment, with Celtic eliminated by LASK in the Champions League play-offs. Despite those setbacks, Martin O’Neill’s side has been perfect in the Scottish Premiership this season. Celtic has won all six of its league matches so far, recording victories over Aberdeen (3-0), St Mirren (2-1), and St Johnstone (1-0) in their most recent outings.
