Celtic will be looking to upset the odds on Wednesday night when they face Manchester City in the Champions League.
Brendan Rodgers side will be confident heading into Wednesday night’s game after a 6-1 win at the weekend, but will know they are faced with a huge challenge.
The Hoops lost their opening game 7-0 at the Camp Nou to Barcelona and will face a similar stylistic opponent at Paradise this week.
City are on a 10 game win streak under Pep Guardiola this season and won 3-1 at the weekend over Swansea City.
They also hammered Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 after the game was delayed by 24 hours due to the heavy rainfall in Manchester a fortnight ago.
The two sides have never met in a competitive game, and will see the resumption of the so-called “Battle of Britain”, which last took place in the group stages back in 2008 when their city Manchester United faced the Hoops.
Based on the team news below you can also view our predicted XI for tomorrow night’s game.
