Celtic has the chance to move closer to securing a spot in the Champions League playoffs as they host RB Leipzig tonight.
The Hoops have accumulated four points after defeating Slovan Bratislava and earning a hard-fought draw against Atalanta. Their campaign has one notable setback: a humiliating 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund in matchday two.
RB Leipzig has made a strong start in the Bundesliga, currently just three points behind Bayern Munich. However, their unbeaten run came to an end with a loss to Dortmund on Saturday, marking their first domestic defeat.
