Celtic face a major test on their return to the UEFA Champions League group stages with the daunting prospect of defending European champions Real Madrid first up.
Ange Postecoglou's side have reached the group stages for the first time since 2017/18, alongside domestic rivals Rangers, but they are up against it in Group F.
The defending Scottish champions will be relying on the power of the Celtic Park faithful against Los Blancos, with Carlo Ancelotti plotting another European adventure.
The Italian coach won a Spanish and European double in an impressive return to Madrid last summer and they look poised to power into the knockout stages once again.

Celtic vs. Real Madrid betting odds
Real Madrid are justified strong favourites to open their Champions League defence with a win in Glasgow based on their ruthlessness in the competition in 2021/22.
Celtic have enjoyed some famous European nights under the Celtic Park lights, including a 2-0 win over Real Madrid in 1980 and edging out Barcelona in 2012, but they will have their eyes on future games against RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk in the battle for the last 16.
