The Group E table doesn't make for pretty reading if you are a Celtic fan, so much so that even qualification for the Europa League now looks beyond them.
However, that's not to say they can't earn some credibility on the continent by picking up their first three points of the campaign against Shakhtar Donetsk at Parkhead on Tuesday night. And this fixture represents Celtic's best chance of winning a game in the group stage of the competition - the hosts are as short as 4/5 with Betfred to take maximum points, while Shakhtar are 3/1 to inlict more European misery on Ange Postecoglou's side.
The points were shared in the reverse fixture but Celtic did more than enough to win that game, dominating the Ukrainians on xG (1.6 vs 0.2) and racking up 16 efforts on goal compated to just five from the hosts. There was a strong feeling afterwards that Celtic had blown a big opportunity, especially as they got their noses in front early on.
