Celtic go in search of their first Europa League points at the fourth attempt when they host Besiktas on Thursday night.
Martin O'Neill's side have made a disastrous start to their campaign with three successive defeats by Ferencvaros, Benfica and Celta Vigo leaving them with a mountain to climb to reach the knockout stage.
The Hoops are one of only four teams still on zero points and sit second bottom of the 36-team table. Only minnows Ararat-Armenia are below the Scottish champions due to having a worse goal difference.
Only a victory will do for Celtic against the Turkish giants, who are eighth in the Europa League standings after wins over Marseille and Hoffenheim were followed by a draw against Crystal Palace.
