Celtic might not get a better chance to record an away win in Europe this season.

Celtic are looking for their first away win in the Europa League this season when they face Rosenborg on Thursday.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have six points so far from 12 games as they prepare to face the group’s bottom side.

Rosenborg are statistically the worst team in the Europa League.

Celtic only sneaked a 1-0 win past them at home in September, winning 1-0. The Scottish champions are in a much better place now.

Rosenborg have lost every game of the group stages so far.

They have conceded 12 goals in total, more than any team in the whole Europa League.

Celtic have been to Rosenborg and won in recent seasons and this is a trip which should hold no fear, especially after their recent victory over RB Leipzig.

There is the obvious risk of complacency to watch out for. Brendan Rodgers must make sure his side are focused and this is not a factor.

Celtic must set up to attack, and be confident they can outscore the Norwegian side.

This is a chance for Celtic to make a statement. A win is needed, and a heavy win is in the realm of possibilities.

A victory will put Celtic in a strong position heading into the final group game at home to Red Bull Salzburg, and they will prove to themselves that they can win in Europe away from home once again.
