It is just about time for Celtic to kick off their Champions League campaign with Real Madrid the visitors.
And what a way to do it. The Hoops will be hoping they can stop the current European champs in front of a sure to be electric home crowd. The cavernous stadium in Glasgow’s east end will be plunged into darkness except for a green light shining on the famous Hoops huddle as Zadok the Priest rings round for the first time in five years. And one thing is for sure, the sound will be defending as the Parkhead faithful get right behind Ange Postecoglou's men.
The home side face a Herculean task but will be hoping the footballing gods smile on Celtic’s swashbuckling style. The squad has been boosted after Kyogo Furuhashi trained on Monday, but Giorgos Giakoumakis will be challenging the Japanese forward for a spot in the starting XI after his performance in Saturday. The Aussie boss has options, and he sure is going to need them as the Hoops look to take their winning momentum into Europe after a perfect start domestically.
