VfB Stuttgart and Celtic face off again on Thursday for their UEFA Europa League knockout round second leg.
Celtic travels to Germany needing to score at least three goals to stay in the tournament after losing 4-1 in the first leg at home. The team also comes off a challenging 2-1 defeat to Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic team news
The team is missing several players due to injuries, including centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers, right-back Alistair Johnston, winger Jota, defender Adam Montgomery, midfielder Arne Engels, and young player Callum Osmand, all listed as unavailable.
After the heavy loss in the first leg, the manager acknowledged that the team caused many of their own problems, referring to Celtic as “masters of their own downfall” for allowing “poor” and “soft” goals. He also recognized that coming back against a strong Stuttgart side would be challenging.
Earlier this month, the team had shown better form in the league with several wins, keeping them in the race at the top of the Scottish Premiership. However, the recent European defeat and loss to Hibs have increased the pressure on them.
Celtic predicted lineup
Possible Celtic starting XI: Schmeichel; Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Bernardo; Maeda, Nygren, Tounekti; Cvancara
When will the match kick off?
The match is set to start at 5:45pm BST on Thursday.
