Celtic know only a win over Lazio will keep their very slim Champions League knockout round dreams alive.

In doing so, they'll also have to score a couple of goals in the process, while also hoping other results go for them.

In what is a sad reality, Celtic are the only side who can be eliminated from the group stage BEFORE the final round of fixtures in December.

Only Royal Antwerp have a worse goal difference than them in the competition and anything other than three points will see them unable to qualify for the Europa League either.

Lazio meanwhile are second in the group, one point behind Atletico Madrid and one clear of Feyenoord.

They know there's a good chance qualification for the last-16 can be achieved with a win here.

Celtic need the three points to keep their chances of European football after Christmas alive.

Unfortunately for them, Lazio also need a win and home advantage can count here.

Yes, I'd love to be able to back the Scottish side in Europe but that weekend performance showed there's still a lack of quality in this Hoops side.

They've also conceded 12 goals in four games and despite the fact Lazio are toiling in Serie A, they seem to be well up for European games.

Felipe Anderson can cause trouble for Greg Taylor down the Lazio right and the Scotland man can add to his four yellow cards in nine games.
