It's fair to say that new Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has been thrown in at the deep end.
Tasked with turning around a 25-point deficit that saw Celtic's dreams of 10 in-a-row destroyed by their great rivals, Rangers, the Australian gaffer has been left a squad low in genuine quality and a defence so inexperienced that it would be ID'd if it tried to buy a lottery ticket.
Even more worrying is the goalkeeping situation where Celtic fans' hope that Vasilis Barkas' poor form of last season was a blip, has turned to despair that the Greek internationalist is still being given a start between the sticks for the Hoops.
Barkas' added to his roll of shame in last week's home tie with Midtjylland when he failed to deal with an inswinging free-kick that sailed in to his top corner, resulting in the Danes leaving the east end of Glasgow happy with their 1-1 draw.
That means Celtic must win in Jutland to keep their Champions League hopes alive. BetVictor go 19/10 that Postecoglou's men can get the job done inside 90 minutes but the Superliga side are favourites at 6/4 to win and 5/6 (Marathonbet) to qualify.
After shipping six goals to West Ham at the weekend, Celtic are a huge 5/2 to keep a clean sheet but a much realistic proposition is the 5/4 on over 1 goals for the Danish side.
Going forward, Celtic are capable of finding the net in Denmark but they'll probably need to score at least two to progress and Over 2.5 Goals is definitely worth a look at odds against. SlipsTips thinks there'll be goals too and his match preview features a 4/5 BTTS Tip.
If things look tough for Celtic then Galatasaray need the mother of all comebacks against PSV. The winner of this tie will play either Celtic or Midtjylland (the loser will play St Johnstone in the Europa League) and it's the Dutch side who are in a commanding position in the tie thanks to their 5-1 win in Eindhoven last week. Tolu reckons Gala's need to play on the front foot will present opportunites for PSV, which the likes of hat-trick hero from last week, Eran Zahavi can take advantage of.
Things are much more in the balance in Prague, where Sparta welcome Rapid Vienna. The Austrians take a 2-1 lead to the Czech Republic and again Tolu is in the hotseat for us with his match preview.

Galatasaray v PSV

Over 5.5 goals at 6/1
Galatasaray have to go for it and with their hostile crowd behind them we should see goals.

Chances are we’ll be behind early doors so we’ll have to go for it
Can get just about EVENS for 5+ that looks a gimme

There is every chance with their defence that Celtic could concede a header tonight

Btts a header 18/1

Looking for a bit more luck with today’s picks and will start with this Longshot hailing from Chile…
COBRESAL VS. MELIPILLA (4.00pm)
Neither side getting off to a great start but a chance for both to get some points on the board and a fixture that was always fairly solid for goals in latter campaigns:
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
OVER 9.5 CORNERS
(3/1, bet365) LONGSHOT ⭐
Main bets this evening from the NILFs and Icelandic 4 Dield respectively…
DERRY CITY VS. SION SWIFTS (7.45pm)
Not quite the gulf in quality there was a couple of seasons ago here and Derry Ladies have been scoring in games they wouldn’t have done historically so the prices on both to score have plenty of appeal:
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
(6/4, williamhill) NAP ⭐⭐⭐
KFB VS. HAMAR (9.00pm)
Could be goals in this one and the bookies have a tight line set but not without a chance given Hamar’s penchant for goals and KFB’s for conceding them! 5-6-8-6 goals in the last 4H2H’s bodes well so will add this for the Nb with williamhill edging out bet365‘s even money for the same:
OVER 5.5 GOALS
(6/5, williamhill) NB ⭐⭐
Best of luck!

Wouldn’t look at these teams normally but these are the very last 2 games of the season, all 4 teams are safe or have nowt to play for so could see goals.
Bit worried about hassania though as their match goal output is rubbish
Prediction 1-1 and 1-1

Finished 0-4 in Derry with the hosts failing to find the goal needed…they had their chances by the looks of things and one to keep an eye on for any NILF fanciers 👎
…and the Nb falls short too – Hamar hit 35 shots and 18 corners but couldn’t grab enough goals!
Well done all winners!
Albiion v Racing montevideo 00.30 Uruguay
Top of league play 3rd hoping to see both teams find the back of the net her, Albion sit 3rd they have scored in their last ten games. Montevideo didnt score last time out but have found the net 8 times in the last 5 games. Hope both teams can find the net here

No 1st half goals in the Fjolnir game after a red card for the visitors seemed to hamper things in the first 45, 3 goals followed in the 2nd too.
Poor day, onwards! Well done all winners 👍
