The Champions League is back this evening and so are Celtic, returning to Europe’s premier club competition.

The Bhoys are in great spirits having hammered Rangers 4-0 at Parkhead on Saturday evening.

Ange Postecoglou’s men face a completely different challenge tonight though as Real Madrid roll into town.

Real won the Champions League last season and will be looking to do it yet again this term.

Ange Postecoglou will be looking spring a shock though and he has named his side for tonight’s game.

Joe Hart continues in goal but Moritz Jenz comes into the team in place of the injured Carl Starfelt.

Jenz partners Cameron Carter-Vickers at the back with Josip Juranovic and Greg Taylor as the full backs.

Callum McGregor will sit on front of the back four with Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate given the freedom to create further forward.

Liel Abada and Jota continue out wide after scoring against Rangers on Saturday, whilst Giorgos Giakoumakis leads the attack in place of Kyogo Furuhashi.

Kyogo makes the bench though, joining Scott Bain, Benjamin Siegrist, Sead Haksabanovic, Aaron Mooy, David Turnbul, James McCarthy, Alexandro Bernabei, Daizen Maeda, James Forrest, Anthony Ralston and Stephen Welsh.
