Celtic will be hoping to take another significant step towards the Champions League knockout rounds as they take on Club Brugge in their fifth league phase fixture.

The Scottish side have begun strongly in European competition, winning two of their first four games and producing particularly impressive performances against Atalanta and RB Leipzig.

With the club also unbeaten at the top of the Scottish Premiership, confidence will be high for the arrival of their Belgian visitors.

But a win over Aston Villa in their last Champions League outing showed the problems Club Brugge can pose under highly-rated coach Nicky Hayen.

Here’s everything you need to know.
