The Champions League match between Celtic and Feyenoord will take place at Celtic Park on Thursday at 1:30 am IST.
In their last Group E encounter on Wednesday, Celtic welcomes Feyenoord to Parkhead, with both teams already eliminated from the Champions League’s last 16. Seeking redemption, Celtic aims to avenge their 2-0 defeat to Feyenoord on matchday one in September.
Celtic’s quest to advance to the Champions League knockout stage is still unfulfilled, having lost four and drawn one of their five Group E matches, leading to an early exit. Elimination was confirmed with a 2-0 defeat to Lazio on matchday five, making Celtic the first British club in Champions League history with a winless run of 15 matches. Despite back-to-back Scottish Premiership wins, a 2-1 loss to Kilmarnock ended their unbeaten league record. With a guaranteed bottom finish in Group E, Celtic aims to break a 12-game winless home run in the Champions League against Feyenoord on Wednesday.
Feyenoord’s hopes of advancing to the Champions League last 16 were dashed on matchday five with a 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid. This, coupled with Lazio’s win over Celtic, confirmed Feyenoord’s third-place finish in Group E, leading them to the Europa League playoffs. Despite a subsequent 2-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven, they returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over FC Volendam. Currently second in the Eredivisie, Feyenoord aims to close the gap but first faces a Champions League dead-rubber against Celtic. Keen to end a seven-game winless away run, Feyenoord has a positive European record against Scottish teams.
Celtic probable starting lineup: Hart, A. Johnston, Phillips, Scales, Taylor, O’Riley, McGregor, Turnbull, Yang, Furuhashi, Palma
Feyenoord probable starting lineup: Bijlow, Geertruida, Trauner, Hancko, Lopez, Wieffer, Timber; Minteh, Stengs, Paixao, Gimenez
