Fearful Charlie Nicholas writes off Celtic glory night as he warns Rangers they're about to be extinguished

Former Celtic star Charlie Nicholas doesn't believe there's a incoming glory night against Champions League rivals RB Leipzig.

Group F is delicately poised, however, the pundit fears Parkhead punters will have to settle for a goal-laden draw amid the absence of Callum McGregor. The skipper is set to be out until after the World Cup and Nicholas believes the tempo set by the man in the middle is hard to replicate with Matt O'Riley in line to land a deeper role. Aaron Mooy also eyeing a rare start and Jota is facing a fight to be fit.

Celtic know a win will breathe new life into their hopes of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League but are acutely aware of the threat Christopher Nkunku and Co possess after last week's sobering 3-1 defeat last week. Nicholas is predicting goals in a pulsating encounter but thinks the lack of three points will cost Celtic a shot in the knockout stage.
