Glasgow Celtic are set to face Barcelona in Champions League action tomorrow.

Alan Brazil has told the Breakfast Show on TalkSPORT, which was broadcast on 22nd November, that he believes Celtic could struggle to beat Barcelona tomorrow evening.

Celtic are due to face the La Liga giants tomorrow evening, with a sell out crowd expected at Parkhead.

The Bhoys go into the match with the knowledge that they overcame the odds to beat Barcelona the last time the Catalan side visited Glasgow.

However, Brazil feels that Celtic could struggle to get past Luis Enrique’s talented side this time around.

“You don’t know with with Celtic. Celtic can beat anyone at home, but Barcelona – they are special. If they fancy it, it will be tough,” the pundit said.

When Celtic met Barcelona earlier this season, Brendan Rodgers side ended up on the wrong end of a 7-0 defeat.

However, the Bhoys have already proven to be a match for Manchester City in front of their own fans this season, which offers some hope the Bhoys could pull off an upset.

Celtic go into their final two matches in the Champions League knowing that they will have to win at least one of them to climb above Borussia Monchengladbach and claim third spot in the group.
