BBC Scotland will show the game live, with their coverage starting at 4.30pm.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou: "Czech teams are always pretty well-organised, they are a big side, a physical side and I expect it to be a tough challenge.

“Every time you play away in Europe there are always unique circumstances you need to overcome and I am sure that will be the case for us. But we will try to maintain our focus on ourselves at the moment.

“Our football has been okay, it hasn’t been brilliant, but it has been okay. We have had chances to win all the games so there is a real focus to keep improving but more importantly turning them into results.”

New Celtic signing Kyogo Furuhashi: “It was very exciting and fun to make my debut. I have to concentrate on what I am doing and I hope to contribute to the team as much as I can.

“Celtic have great players and the manager is wonderful. If we can focus, the results will follow.

“It’s a very interesting style of football. I think I can fit in, that’s why I am here and I will try my best to contribute to the team as much as I can.”
