IT'S matchday two of the Champions League but Celtic and Anderlecht are playing for a Europa League future.

PSG and Bayern Munich will finish first and second in Group B so third spot is up for grabs to the also-rans.

And in this case Brendan Rodgers will be happy to be an also-ran if it means European football beyond Christmas.

Celtic can't compete with megabucks PSG and Baayern but they're at the same level as Anderlecht so should be targeting at least a point in Brussels.

Last season in the groups they picked up a point at Man City and Monchengladbach – and that should be their minimum aim tonight.

Celtic are 5-2 underdogs with McBookie while Anderlecht are 11-10 at William Hill. The draw pays 11-4 at betfair and I'm on Celtic not to lose at 5-6 with Betway.

Anderlecht don't look a great side and axed coach Rene Weiler after two wins in seven. Caretaker Nicolas Frutos has steadied the ship with one-goal victories at Westerlo and Waasland.

If Celtic play their best they can avoid defeat and have goals in their side and both to score looks a shout at 4-6.

Leigh Griffiths is likely to plough a lone furrow up front and is 11-2 at Unibet to score first while Scott Sinclair is 15-2 with McBookie.

The other Group C game sees PSG entertain Bayern Munich and the French side are big favourites at evens with McBookie but I'd prefer to take both to score at 4-11 with William Hill.
