CELTIC have crashed out of the Champions League arguably to face tougher opposition in the Europa League.
Ajax and Fenerbahce look better sides than the Malmo outfit that sent the Hoops packing from the elite stage – and that’s got to be worrying for boss Ronny Deila.
While Celtic fans neck Amstel by the crateful in Amsterdam the players may be left sour by Milik – Arkadiusz Milik.
The giant Pole and on-form hitman Anwar El Ghazi will relish the prospect of taking a side that's been leaking goals left, right and centre – eight in the Premiership and four over two legs to Malmo.
Milik is 7-4 with Paddy Power to score and El Ghazi, who has six goals in six games, is 7-4 at Skybet.
I can’t see past an Ajax win and that’s been cut to a best 5-6 with McBookie. If the Hoops can’t shut the back door it could be a home win by two or more (12-5, Stan James).
Anyone with faith in Celtic can have them at 4-1 (bet365) to win or 1-1 (Ladbrokes) not to lose.
The Hoops are 1-2 with William Hill to score while Leigh Griffiths is 12-5 at McBookie to net.

In December 2020 we sadly 
good luck celtic .
Hope they pull out a top performance .
I agree with you Mr F on the Ajax tips,
Been watching them playing recently and they look good.
But its unusual to see you put so much faith in the Europa league
Eddie, it’s one tip so far. I believe Ajax will play a full-strength side and I’ve seen enough of Celtic this season to know they have problems.
A no bet game for me. Ajax might look good in the league, but were horrible in Europe this season. Europe is something else than the Dutch league.
Went with over 1.5 Ajax goals, will be a drubbing.
Ajax should win but Juventus, PSV, Colchester, Blackburn, Roma, Dinamo Zagreb etc were all teams who weren’t fancied the past 2 days against teams in form in their leagues and got results. Europa league is a minefield, both teams to score in the Celtic game is a possibility, and both to score in a few games with the bigger teams playing weakened teams tonight
Pedrojord, didn’t fancy QPR or Sheff Utd and my tip for both was btts.
Get they blue tinted specs aff ;)
Score draw for me tonight if commons and the new defender starts and efe doesn’t
Alves, my only tinted specs are red, white and black.
Commons hasn’t been involved but they new boy might start.
Just don’t think Celtic are good enough at the moment but happy to be proved wrong for the sake of Scottish football.
Off to the golf – hopefully add to the tips later.
I fancy a big upset today I’m on celtic 3-1 or 3-2 there just something what tells me celtic will win after the Aberdeen disaster
Just talking of the general fancy, not on your own selections MrFixit. Been some upsets so hopefully Celtic can get a result, but btts would be my tip
Won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but ill be going big on over 1.5 goals single tonight @ 1/3 with bet 365
I’m keeping quiet til ft :)
Celtic have only 2 wins in their last 15 AWAY games.
AJAX have WON 4 of their last 5 European HOME games.
Looking at the markets a Celtic gl before 78 mins looks decent @Bet365 plus a gl to be scored in both halves at @PaddyPower also 5/6
Got to agree with Mr F’s assessment, Celtic have leaked 12 goals in their last seven matches, while Ajax have conceded 2 in seven, coupled with Celtic’s unimpressive European away record & Ajax’s home record it would be a brave person to bet against Ajax.
These are not tips, these are my bets, team news dependent.
Ajax to score in both halves 7/4 B365
Ajax to win both halves 4/1 B365
I’ll take my blue tinted specs off, (not that i ever wear them when it comes to gambling) A draw at the Amsterdam Arena is a great result, so it’s both a well done & an unlucky bhoys. A profit from my two bets on the game & a decent result for Celtic & Scotland, everyone is happy.. Right?
I think Celtic will score tonight but honestly i can see Ajax winning 2-1. Celtic are a worse off team than last year
B.T.S for me :-)
That was quick!
Ajax are a very poor shadow of their former selves. Ajax over 1.5goals in. Onto Rangers -2 and Chelsea over 1.5goals
At least Ajax are their former selves!!
Changed your tune, some drubbing. Point proven, league form plays no part in these European fixtures. Molde 7th in their league gave Feberbache, top of their league and undefeated, a “drubbing”
Wise up Davie S :) Another Ajax goal would have been great
Lol. It will maybe be Dundee hand out the drubbing.
Most Davie :)
Cheer up Bhoys. Get your money on the big Glesga team v Dumbarton and win some mula
