Celtic will travel to the Netherlands to take on AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of their Europa League play-off tie on Thursday night.
The Bhoys, led by Ange Postecoglou, are firmly in the driving seat for this evening's game after winning the first leg courtesy of a Kyogo Furuhashi strike and an own goal from Timo Letschert.
AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, are struggling to find inspiration from anywhere at the moment, but were afforded the weekend off by the Dutch FA as they prepare to try and salvage their Europa League campaign.
The Eredivisie outfit will draw some confidence from their current 13-game unbeaten streak on home soil, but face the uphill task of overturning a 2-0 first-leg defeat against the free-scoring Scots.

Last week's first-leg in Glasgow yielded a collective total of just three cards, but it looks like there could be plenty more dished out tonight.
Referee Tiago Martins, who averaged 4.9 cards per game last season, will take charge this evening and the Portuguese official is known for brandishing a card or two - ten 10 yellow cards in his two outings, to be exact.

Other than that, the Dutch side have no injury concerns and are unlikely to make any alterations from their disappointing first leg.
Celtic team news
Christopher Jullien remains on the sidelines following his serious knee injury, while Karamoko Dembele's ankle issue is said to be a long-term one.
Elsewhere, Ryan Christie was fit enough to return to action against St Mirren, but will most likely make way for Tom Rogic this week.
The Bhoys have also been handed a boost in the fact that James Forrest could shake off a knock in time to return for tonight after being left out of the squad at the weekend.
