Celtic may have beaten Hearts 7-1 at the weekend but their recent European performances have been poor and they are looking for their first points of this Europa League campaign as they host Celta Vigo.
The visitors have also lost their opening two Europa League league phase matches, although by narrower margins, and both teams will be desperate to pick up a first win.
Celtic v Celta Vigo Tips Summary
Best Bet - Celta Vigo to win @ 31/20

Bet Builder - Williot Swedberg to score or assist, Camilo Duran 1+ shot on target & Ilaix Moriba to be booked @ 14/1
Celtic v Celta Vigo Prediction
Best Bet: Celta Vigo to win @ 31/20
Celtic have shipped 12 goals in their last three European matches and, with key defender Cameron Carter-Vickers out, they are worth taking on once again when they host Celta at Parkhead.
The Hoops produced an excellent attacking display domestically at the weekend to put seven past Hearts, but their continental efforts have left more than a little bit to be desired for some time.
Martin O'Neill was manager when these two last met in Europe, back in 2002, with Celtic winning on away goals en route to losing the Europa League final to FC Porto.
Recently the Hoops have struggled to compete at the top level, however, and they were beaten 3-1 at home to Ferencvaros before shipping four away to Benfica last week.
Celta narrowly lost to Juventus last Thursday, but they are six games unbeaten in La Liga and have the second-best defensive record in the Spanish top-flight.
The Sky Blues may not need to be at their best to get the better of a home team who have struggled in this competition and who have shown few signs of turning things around.
Alternative Bet: Williot Swedberg to score or assist @ 8/5
Swedish winger Williot Swedberg was one of Celta's star performers in the Europa League last season, with five goals and two assists from eight starts in this competition.
He has already picked up his first assist of this campaign in last week's loss to Juve and he could be the man to pick apart an inexperienced Bhoys defence.
Celtic v Celta Vigo Bet Builder Tip
Williot Swedberg to score or assist
Camilo Duran to have a shot on target
Ilaix Moriba to be booked
Pays 14/1
Swedberg had ten goals and seven assists in all competitions last season and could unlock the Hoops' defence in this clash.
Camilo Duran has impressed since his move to Glasgow, with the Colombian striker averaging 1.21 shots on target per 90 minutes across his last two seasons in Europe.
Ilaix Moriba does plenty of the dirty work in Celta's midfield - he was booked last week against Juve and picked up eight La Liga cautions last term. He looks overpriced for a card.
