Celtic FC managed to draw their first leg of the Europa League Round of 32 and now they should be able to kill off the tie quite easily since they host the second leg at home this week.
Celtic are now 12 points clear of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership meaning Neil Lennon now entirely shift his focus to the Europa League which is why the manager is expected to name his strongest XI in midweek.
And on top of that, the manager has an almost fit squad to choose from since Ryan Christie and Michael Johnston are the only players out for the Bhoys.
FC Copenhagen have looked toothless in attack having managed to score just six goals in their seven Europa League matches of the current season which is another reason why Celtic FC should have very little to panic about.
Celtic FC team news:
1.Ryan Christie is suspended due to an accumulation of bookings and he will surely be a big miss for Neil Lennon.
2. Celtic used a 4-3-3 formation for the first leg but some reports claim the manager could opt to use a 3-5-3 system at home on Thursday.
3. If the manager does use this formation then Leigh Griffiths should start upfront alongside Odsonne Edouard.
4. Right-back Jeremie Frimpong made his European debut in the first leg but the youngster is expected to drop to the bench on Thursday.
Celtic FC injuries and suspensions:
Michael Johnston – Ruled out.
Ryan Christie – Suspended.
Predicted XI for Celtic:
Goalkeeper: Forster.
Defenders: Simunovic, Jullien, Ajer.
Midfielders: Forrest, McGregor, Scott Brown, Olivier Ntcham, Greg Taylor.
Attackers: Odsonne Edouard, Leigh Griffith.
