Celtic are set to take on Atletico Madrid in the second of a duo of crucial clashes with the Spanish giants. The Bhoys know they need to go to the Wanda Metropolitano and bring something back to Glasgow on Tuesday.
Such a task may prove arduous, although a recent injury update from Brendan Rodgers has made things look slightly more positive.

Everyone involved with Celtic knows that Tuesday’s game will be the toughest the Scottish champions have been involved in this season. Coming with a clean bill of health, however, will only aid the team.
Particularly after an arduous trip to Dingwall, it is hugely positive everyone is fit and available. Saturday’s battle with the Highlanders could have easily been one in which some nasty knocks were sustained, but it wasn’t to be and the squad are raring to go for the Champions League.
