Celtic host Roma in an important Europa League clash this evening with both teams pushing for qualification to the knockout rounds.
The Scottish champions are currently 21st in the standings ahead of matchday six, having taken seven points from their first five fixtures.
Celtic are now under the management of Wilfried Nancy, whose reign got off to a poor start after losing to title rivals Hearts at the weekend. The Frenchman, who arrives in Glasgow after an impressive spell in MLS, faces a tough test tonight with Roma the visitors to Parkhead.
This will be Roma’s second visit to Scotland this season, after winning 2-0 at Rangers last month.
