Celtic will hope to boost their chances of dropping into the Europa League when they take on Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Brendan Rodgers' side are currently third in Group B and, while they cannot progress to the knock-out stage of the Champions League, they can drop into the second-tier competition.
PSG inflicted a heavy 5-0 defeat on the Bhoys at Celtic Park when they met back in September, and though already qualified will be seeking a similarly emphatic win at home.

GAME PREVIEW

PSG are already sure of their place in the knock-out stage of the Champions League and they will enter the draw as a seeded team if they beat Celtic on Wednesday and Bayern Munich drop points.
Head coach Unai Emery is under pressure to win every match, and having rested the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Julian Draxler and Layvin Kurzawa at the weekend will likely deploy a strong squad for this encounter, particularly with a trip to Germany in their last match to follow.
Nevertheless, Rodgers' men have much more to play for on Wednesday, with a Europa League place in the balance, and they will be determined to avoid defeat as they look over their shoulders at Anderlecht.
