Celtic could seal a last 16 play-off spot as the welcome bottom of the table Young Boys at Celtic Park in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
With 11 points expected to be enough to secure a least a play-off berth, Brendan Rodgers’ side know a win in Glasgow tomorrow night is likely to offer them a chance at making the knock-out stages of Europe’s elite competition for the first time in over a decade.
Win overs RB Leipzig and Slovan Bratislava coupled with draws against Club Brugge, Atalanta and Dinamo Zagreb means Celtic’s only defeat has come in a 7-1 thrashing at Borussia Dortmund, leaving them in 21st place and on course to nab a desired spot in the last 16 playoffs.
