Match Preview

Celtic answered a few questions in their last Champions League game, a gutsy 0-0 draw at Atalanta. 

Brendan Rodgers’ side faced the free-scoring Serie A team on the back of a 7-1 Champions League pasting at Borussia Dortmund and with several supporters questioning the manager’s attacking mindset against such quality opposition.

The draw in Bergamo proved Celtic can be defensively disciplined and they will have to show those qualities again when RB Leipzig visit Parkhead tomorrow night.

Celtic go into the game after a 6-0 win over Aberdeen – who sit second in the Premiership – in the League Cup at the weekend.

Leipzig are second in the Bundesliga following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund but have struggled in Europe’s elite club competition.

Successive defeats to Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Liverpool mean a win in Glasgow is pivotal to their hopes of a top-16 finish.
