Celtic host Lille in the Europa League tonight as the Scottish champions’ awful campaign in the tournament comes to an end.

Neil Lennon’s side have no chance of reaching the knockout phase as they sit bottom of Group H with just one point.

That sole point came from their trip to Lille in October, which ended in a 2-2 draw – with the Scottish team having led 2-0 at the break.

Lille, meanwhile, lead the group with 11 points and will finish top if they can match or better AC Milan’s result against Sparta Prague tonight.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Europa League game.

When is it?

The match will kick off at 8pm BST at Celtic Park tonight.

How can I watch it?

The tie will air live on BT Sport 3. Subscribers can also stream it live on the BT Sport website and app.

What is the team news?

James Forrest is the only injury concern for Celtic, though Lennon may opt to rest key players, with his side’s Europa League fate sealed and domestic form flagging.

Lille will be without the injured Zeki Celik, and Renato Sanches has not missed out for the French outfit in midfield in their last two outings, but he could return here.

Predicted line-ups

Celtic: Barkas; Abd Elhamed, Bitton, Duffy, Taylor; Brown, Turnbull, Ntcham; Christie, Klimala, Griffiths

Lille: Maignan; Djalo, Fonte, Botman, Reinildo; Ikone, Andre, Soumare, Bamba; Yilmaz, David

Odds

Celtic: 11/4

Draw: 5/2

Lille: 1/1

Prediction

Celtic will want to restore some pride by getting a result here, but it will be tough against a game Lille, who have something more substantial to play for. Celtic 0-1 Lille.
