Celtic vs Shakhtar Donetsk simulated as seven-goal thriller predicted for Champions League clash

Celtic will be looking to keep their hopes of earning a spot in the Europa League alive tonight when they face Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

A 2-0 defeat at home to RB Leipzig in their last UEFA Champions League outing confirmed that Celtic could go no further in the European competition, leaving the Hoops bottom of Group F with just one point. With Shakhtar Donetsk in third on five points, Celtic will need to beat the Ukrainian side tonight and claim at least a point against Real Madrid for any hope of dropping down to the Europa League.

Celtic's one point so far this campaign came against tonight's opposition in the reverse fixture - a 1-1 draw in Warsaw. Ange Postecoglou's side enter tonight's game on the back of a dramatic 4-3 win over Hearts in the league.
