Celtic vs Atletico Madrid
Celtic welcome Group E leaders Atletico to Parkhead and are in desperate need of a positive result.
Brendan Rodgers' name was sung by the travelling fans at Tynecastle on Sunday and a win here would more than likely get the rest of the sceptics on side.
The issue is, it's been ten years without a Champions League home win and 16 games without a home clean sheet in this competition.
Atletico arrive here having won their last six games in all competitions, and with a win and draw to their name in this tournament.
Antoine Griezmann's hat trick over the weekend at Celta Vigo continued his own strong start to the season, in a prolific attack alongside Spaniard Alvaro Morata.
The Hoops are pointless after two and their European future looks bleak if they don't remedy that here.

Celtic vs Atletico Madrid betting tips
Liam Scales has had an incredibly positive start to the season after coming in from the wilderness.
He'll have a tough task against the Atletico attack here, though.
While we expect he'll win his fair share of battles, there will also be times where he's severely tested and could add to the three bookings he's already collected this season.
That Griezmann hat trick took his record to seven goals in his last six Atletico appearances.
The 32-year-old has taken on a new responsibility this season and it's showing, with his confidence also high having won his last eight games for club and country.
