Ahead of the game, O'Neill has named his team for the clash, making two changes from the side that defeated Motherwell 2-0 at Fir Park last weekend.

Because of this, Auston Trusty and Oliver Sorensen have replaced Liam Scales and Benjamin Nygren in the starting line-up.

Celtic Starting XI: Sinisalo, Donovan, Murray, Trusty, Tierney, McGregor, Baur, Sorensen, Duran, Tounekti, Hogh

Subs: Johnstone, Lotomba, Scales, Nygren, McCowan, Osmand, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hassan, Forret, Ralston, Kennedy, Clearie

Kick-off in Lisbon is at 8pm, with HBO Max and TNT Sports showing the Europa League encounter in the UK.
