Celtic's new era of European football under Ange Postecoglou gets underway on Tuesday evening.
Danish side FC Midtjylland visit Parkhead for the much anticipated first-leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie - and neither side have warmed up in ideal fashion.
The Bhoys suffered a 1-0 friendly defeat to Preston North End while Midtjylland opened their league campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Odense Boldklub.
In days gone past, you would have problems naming the Celtic team with so many options, but Postecoglou doesn't seem to have that luxury yet - and even some of his best players are struggling with injury.
After Benjamin Whiteman's penalty separated the two sides on Saturday the new Celtic gaffer pulled no punches after the final whistle, claiming they "need to bring players in" as they seek to dethrone Rangers at the first time of asking.
James Forrest has returned to training but it's likely to be too soon for him to play the first-leg.
Ryan Christie has also missed pre-season games but he could play, despite his wish to move away from the club with less than six months remaining on his deal.
There's more problems in defence with Stephen Welsh the most senior of the available centre backs, unless Nir Bitton makes a miraculous appearance.
He will likely be partnered by new boy Osaze Urhoghide, although Dane Murray has impressed during pre-season games and could be handed an opportunity.
Vasilis Barkas will start in goals with Anthony Ralston and Greg Taylor the likely full backs.
Ismaila Soro should play beside Callum McGregor if he regains full fitness and we predict David Turnbull will play in the No. 10 role with Ryan Christie on the right.
There's a chance for Adam Montgomery to play off the left, although Tom Rogic was fit enough for a 30-minute cameos at the weekend and could be reinstated to the first XI here.
Likewise Odsonne Edouard played half-an-hour against Preston so will likely get the nod ahead of Albian Ajeti - but Karamoko Dembele and Mikey Johnston are working their way back from injuries sustained against Bristol City.
Predicted team: Barkas, Ralston, Urhoghide, Welsh, Taylor, Soro, McGregor, Christie, Turnbull, Rogic, Edouard.
