=================================

Celtic return to Europa League action on Thursday night as they take on Sturm Graz - and although it’s only Matchday 3, it already feels like a must-win if we’re to have any hope of reaching the knockout stages.

However, coming off the back of a bruising 2-0 defeat at Dundee, there are no guarantees of a strong response from Brendan Rodgers’ unpredictable side at this time.

Daizen Maeda remains sidelined, but Alistair Johnston could return to the squad — and having someone of his character back in the dressing room would be a huge lift for both his teammates and the manager.

Rodgers is under growing pressure following recent results and will be desperate for a win that could reignite Celtic’s European campaign.
