Celtic are set to play Swedish outfit AIK in their first Europa League fixture of the season after failing to progress to the Champions League play-offs.
Thursday night’s game will be looked at as a must-win given the recent events at the club. Lennon’s men narrowly edged past Dunfermline with a 2-1 win in the Betfred League Cup at the weekend after the match went to extra-time.
The failure to put Cluj aside means a good performance matched with a good result could lift the spirits of supporters; at least slightly.
Swedish champions AIK drop down into the Europa League qualifiers after failing to beat Maribor over two legs.
They are currently third in the Allsvenskan after 20 league games; having won 12 and lost four so far.
They will be determined to bounce back after defeat against 11th place Kalmar at the weekend.
Here is our Celtic predicted XI for Thursday’s first-leg crunch tie at Celtic Park.
