Celtic are gearing up to host German side Vfb Stuttgart in the first leg of the knockout playoffs of the Europa league at the Parkhead tonight and manager Martin O'Neill is expected to field a quite similar side from the Celts' 3-2 victory over Kilmarnok last weekend.

Celtic FC Predicted XI-

GK-Kasper Schmeichel

DEF- Kieran Tierney, Liam Scales, Auston Trusty, Julian Araujo

MID- Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Benjamin Nygren, 

ATT- Sebastian Tounekti, Tomas Cvancara, Daizen Maeda.

The Celts would look to count on their home advantage during the first leg of the tie and carry on their undefeated run under interim manager Martin O'Neill this season.
