Celtic v AC Milan team news

Celtic: The Celtic squad has been ravaged by coronavirus of late, with Hatem Abd Elhamed, Ryan Christie, Nir Bitton and Odsonne Edouard all in quarantine or self-isolating.

You can expect Neil Lennon to play his cards close to his chest this week after someone within the club leaked his starting line-up ahead of the Old Firm derby.

Our prediction: Celtic v AC Milan

The Italians have been imperious so far this season and will be hoping to keep the juggernaut steaming on when they visit Scotland.

Their hosts will be up against it right from the off but even an empty Celtic Park could prove to be a tricky place to get a result for the Serie A leaders.

They may not have it all their own way, but ultimately, Milan should record a victory.

Our prediction: Celtic 0-2 AC Milan
