Both teams currently have zero points after two games.

The Hoops suffered a heavy defeat to Benfica in Lisbon, following their opening game loss to Ferencvaros.

Next week, they will face La Liga's Celta Vigo, who have also lost their first two games.

The Spanish side were defeated last minute by Juventus, after a loss to Omonia Nicosia in their opening game in Cyprus.

Lago said: "We now know we have to win in Glasgow to try and get to the next round and we will be giving 100 per cent to beat Celtic."

His teammate, Javi Rueda, expressed his eagerness for the upcoming match in Scotland.

He said: "We need to get our first European win in Glasgow.

"And I think we can if we play as we did against Juventus.

"I believe this could be the turning point of our season because we have a very tough month coming up."

The manager, Claudio Giraldez, shared his pride in his players' efforts.

He said: "The Europa League has started cruelly for us - we didn't deserve to lose to Juventus.

"We have now lost both games because of two very late goals.

"We went toe-to-toe with a legendary European team and will take a lot from this."
