Celtic skipper Callum McGregor has time to set himself for a shot just outside the penalty area but his effort flies straight into the arms of the goalkeeper.

Ryan Mmaee is the target for another low cross from the right but this time Cameron Carter-Vickers is alert to the danger and makes the interception.

Celtic pressing high up the pitch and the visitors look happy to knock the ball around on the slick surface.

An early scare for the home side as Ryan Mmaee comes sliding in at the near post but he can't get enough on a pacey, low cross.

A peep of the whistle from Danish referee Jakob Kehlet and away we go.

The teams are out and the stadium looks close to full on a dreich, rainy afternoon, which is remarkable given the start time.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou speaking to BT Sport: "I don't think this is our settled 11 but we’re certainly more settled in general.

"We will have to rotate with the fixtures coming up, if you look at our bench today it has attacking options that can help. We’re going to need a strong squad and we’re getting to that point, slowly but surely.

"We just keep playing our football and reinforcing that. Our form - even in the Europa League - has been not too bad but the results don’t reflect that.

"We’re definitely a strong team going forward but we get punished defensively, especially at this level, so we’ve just got to be wary at both ends of the park."

Ferencvaros won their league at a canter last season, finishing 20 points clear. Right now they are one point off the top, with a game in hand.

At the weekend they left out a lot of regulars and suffered a surprise home defeat to Zalaegerszeg.

Since their heavy loss to Leverkusen, Celtic have won away at Aberdeen and Motherwell to climb up to fourth place.

Ferencvaros head coach Peter Stoger wants his side to "play brave" this afternoon.

"I think everybody is happy to play in this great stadium," he said at yesterday's media conference. "Our target is not to build a wall in front of the box. We want to make it an open game, but we want at least a point and this is our target."

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou is not too downhearted after two defeats in the group, taking heart from scoring three times in Spain and causing the Bayer Leverkusen defence a few problems in Glasgow.

"From my perspective, there was enough positive signs in both of those performances to continue what we are doing," said the Australian yesterday.

"Part of the challenge of playing quality teams is can you cause them problems? It's easy to set out a team to stop the opposition but if you really want to make an impact in Europe you have got to be able to hurt opposition teams yourself and I thought we showed that in both games."

This season, Ferencvaros got through three rounds of Champions League qualifying, only to lose out to Swiss side Young Boys in the play-off.

In this competition they took the lead in Germany before losing 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen, while Real Betis knocked in two late goals for a 3-1 success in Budapest.

These two have only met once before - on a sore night for Celtic just 14 months ago.

The visitors scored early at Celtic Park and Tokmac Nguen fired in the winner after a Ryan Christie equaliser to earn the Hungarians progress in a one-off Champions League qualifier.

They would go on to beat Dinamo Zagreb and Molde to reach the group stage for the first time in 25 years, where they finished bottom of a fiendish section that included Juventus and Barcelona.

Last season's Europa League was something of a disaster for Celtic as they picked up four points against Lille but suffered heavy defeats home and away to Sparta Prague and AC Milan.

It all means Celtic have lost five of their past six group phase matches, conceding four goals each time.

Celtic opened this campaign with a thrilling 4-3 defeat in Seville, having led 2-0 after half an hour at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

That was followed by a 4-0 humbling at home as Bayer Leverkusen ruthlessly exploited a string of defensive lapses.

Having lost out to Midtjylland in Champions League qualifying, Ange Postecoglou's side had to overcome Jablonec and AZ Alkmaar to get to this stage.

"There's no shying away from it - we need a win," Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou said yesterday.

"The other two sides have won their opening two games so if we're going to bridge that gap we've got to win our remaining games, particularly the two at home."

Both teams are seeking their first points in Group G, having lost their opening ties against Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis.

There must be plenty of Celtic fans missing out due to work, family, or school commitments.

But it still sounds like there will be a healthy crowd, with manager Ange Postcoglou saying yesterday that the club had sold “a ridiculous amount” of tickets.

"It just shows how committed our supporters are," he added. "I appreciate that because it’s part of the excitement of Europe and the atmosphere at Celtic Park.

“It’s heartening and pleasing to hear we are going to have a good turnout and hopefully we will reward the supporters for those sacrifices.”
