The Hoops are in Bergamo looking for a quick European response to the 7-1 hammering in Germany three weeks ago.

It certainly won’t be easy against an Atalanta side who are the current Europa League holders.

Celtic thumped Slovan Bratislava 5-1 in their first game of the new-look Champions League, while Atalanta have taken four points from a possible six so far.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s men drew 0-0 with Arsenal in their opener before a 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in Gelsenkirchen.

Ahead of the game, Celts boss Brendan Rodgers has launched a major defence of his tactical approach in Europe – but will he change anything up this time around?

That means Auston Trusty and Liam Scales are likely to start at the heart of the Hoops defence.

Greg Taylor is also still out for Brendan Rodgers’ men.

Former Arsenal defender Sead Kolasniac is expected to return for Atalanta, who will be missing the likes of Rafael Toloi, Odilon Koussounou and Gianluca Scamacca.
