Celtic will make their final European away trip of the season this week when they head to Rome to take on Lazio. If the Hoops want any chance of European progression, they need to win against the Italians.
The Bhoys undoubtedly face a tough task, although it is not an impossible one. Ahead of the match, CeltsAreHere tells you everything you need to know.
Where and When
Celtic take on Lazio in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome this Tuesday the 28th of November at 17.45 UK time.
TV and Stream
Tuesday evening’s game will be live on TNT Sports 1. It will also be able to be streamed via Discovery Plus.
Who Is In Charge?
Refereeing this one is Halil Meler. The Turkish whistle-blower previously took charge of Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Braga on matchday four of the current group stage.
Team News
There are a fair few unavailable players for Celtic on Tuesday. Wing duo Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda remain out through injury, along with Reo Hatate. Japanese frontman Maeda would have been suspended anyway.
Also out for this one is Luis Palma. He was awarded a booking away to Atletico Madrid that caused him to be given a one-game ban. The likes of Maik Nawrocki and Marco Tilio were not included in the European squad so they, too, cannot play.
A strong core of players will still head out to the Italian capital, though. The likes of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley, and Kyogo will all be keen to recapture the spirit of 2019 in the Stadio Olimpico.
