Charlie Nicholas believes Celtic will serve up a Champions League night to remember against Real Madrid.
Ange Postecoglou 's side host the European champions on Tuesday night as the Parkhead club return to UEFA's top table for the first time since 2017. The Celtic boss has promised to take the game to Carlo Ancelotti's superstars as they look to pull off a group stage shock.
Former Celtic striker Nicholas reckons anything can happen - including the Premiership champions rushing into an early two-goal lead. But he also expects the La Liga giants' experience to tell on a blockbuster night in Glasgow's east end, with the group stage opener ending in 2-2 draw. Nicholas wrote in his Scottish Daily Express column: "The elite of European football will arrive at Celtic Park tonight as Champions League football returns after a five-year absence - it will be a sensational night. The Parkhead faithful expect so much from this Celtic side now, knowing they are capable of causing major trouble to any team.
