What time and TV channel is AC Milan v Celtic match on tonight?

Struggling Celtic face a daunting assignment tonight away to AC Milan in Europa League Group H.

A 4-1 defeat to Sparta Prague a week ago ended the Scottish champions' hopes of qualifying for the knockout phase of the competition and piled further pressure on Neil Lennon.

The Hoops have plenty of work to do to catch Rangers and revive their bid for 10-in-a-row and will at least hope for an improved performance tonight as a confidence booster before their return to domestic action against St Johnstone on Sunday.

Here's a look at some of the key info ahead of this evening's match.

What time is kick-off?

Kick-off this evening is at 5:55pm

Where is the match?

Under-fire Neil Lennon insists the Celtic board will not sack him "for the sake of it".

The Parkhead club's hierarchy have faced intense calls to part ways with the manager following a run of just two wins in 10 games.

Angry fans descended on Celtic Park on Sunday following a 2-0 Betfred Cup defeat to Ross County.

But, as Record Sport exclusively revealed on Monday, majority shareholder Dermot Desmond is prepared to stand behind the beleaguered boss for now.

Lennon insists he's "very grateful" to retain the backing of Desmond and chief executive Peter Lawwell, who issued a statement on Tuesday night pleading for unity.

Lennon admits he would have understood if he'd been sacked this week but remains confident he can still turn things around.

Asked if he thought it was over for him on Sunday, Lennon said: "Not in my heart of hearts but I could understand if that would have been the case, yes.

"I am very grateful (for the backing). They are not a board that sack managers for the sake of it.

"We have had great success, we are going through a tough time but they don't leave you out in the lurch."
