CELTIC sit mid-table in this year’s Champions League after a win, loss and draw to start their European campaign.

The Scottish champions, fresh from an emphatic 6-0 Scottish League Cup semi-final win against Aberdeen, face German juggernauts RB Leipzig.

Brendan Rodgers’ side started their season off flying high with a 5-1 win against Slovan Bratislava, before stooping just as low with a 7-1 thumping to Borussia Dortmund.

Those opposed results paired with a 0-0 draw away to Europa League champions Atalanta leaves Celtic’s season hanging in the balance.

Leipzig enter this fixture as favourites, despite having lost all of their games so far in this year’s competition.

The Saxony outfit faced tough opposition in this year’s competition in the form of Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Liverpool, all of whom defeated the visitors by a one-goal margin.

Last weekend, Leipzig were defeated by Borussia Dortmund, the former side of Red Bull’s (the company that owns the club) new director of football, Jurgen Klopp.
