    Celtic need to start firing in the Champions League, you'd like to think this is one they can get something out of.

    There is no point qualifying and working so hard every year to get to this platform, then suddenly not pick up points.

    Third place is a must, so this is a big, big night for them.

  5. Two Celtic changes as Hart & Phillips startpublished at 19:07 British Summer Time 4 October 2023

    Celtic v Lazio (20:00)

    Brendan Rodgers makes two changes to the Celtic XI which started Saturday's mad win at Motherwell.

    No surprise to see Joe Hart, who was suspended at the weekend, return in goal in place of Scott Bain.

    Gustav Lagerbielke is out of defence following his red card in the opening group defeat at Feyenoord, with Nat Phillips coming in.

    Rodgers is boosted by the return of key centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers, who features in a matchday squad for the first time since mid-August.

    We didn't have to wait as long this time, but the Champions League branding is back at Celtic Park.

    Out-of-form Lazio are the visitors to Glasgow for their second Group E game, one which the Scottish champions surely have to take something from if they have hopes of progression.

    You're in the right place for all your pre-match build-up. The action gets under way in an hour.
