Celtic have been in wretched form of late compared to the relentless winning they have been used to in recent years, with just two wins in eight across all competitions.

To have a chance of progressing in the Europa League, they’ll need to turn that around against Sparta Prague when the two teams meet on Thursday night.

Celtic are currently bottom of the group with a single point to their name so far.

Sparta are two points better off after they beat Celtic last time out, and they’ll be hoping to put themselves in the running for a top-two finish with another win here.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

When is the match?

The game kicks off at 5:55pm on Thursday, 26 November.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 3. Subscribers can also stream the game via the BT Sport app or website.

What is the team news?

Sparta are missing five players through injury, with Adam Hlozek, David Hancko and Lukas Stetina among them.

James Forrest is the sole doubt for Celtic and he may not be risked even if he proves fit in time for the game.

Predicted line-ups

SPR: Heca, Vindheim, Pavelka, Plechaty, Hanousek, Krejci, Travnik, Polidar, Karabec, Karlsson, Julis

CEL: Bain, Frimpong, Biton, Ajer, Laxalt, Brown, McGregor, Christie, Rogic, Elyounoussi, Ajeti

Odds

Sparta Prague - 9/5

Draw - 27/10

Celtic - 19/10

Prediction

The Scottish side were hammered by the Czechs in the last game at home and there’s little reason to think a change in fortunes is incoming. Sparta 3-0 Celtic.
