Celtic are back in the UEFA Champions League group stages in 2022/23 with holders Real Madrid heading to Glasgow on matchday one.
Ange Postecoglou’s side join domestic rivals Rangers in the group stages but they face a major battle to get out of Group F in the coming weeks.
Celtic will be hoping their home form can inspire a place in the last 16 but facing Madrid could be a reality check for The Bhoys.
Carlo Ancelotti won a Spanish and European double on his return to Madrid last summer and Los Blancos are amongst the favourites to go on and defend their title this season.
The Sporting News is following the match live and providing live score updates, commentary from Celtic Park.

Celtic vs. Real Madrid predicted lineups
Centre-back Carl Starfelt and striker Kyogo Furuhashi will be assessed by Celtic after being forced off with injuries during the 4-0 win over Rangers on Saturday that will go down as one of the club’s greatest recent derby victories.
Furuhashi suffered a shoulder injury during the first minute of the match. Starfelt, who missed Celtic’s preseason programme with an issue he picked up on Sweden duty, has a knee problem.
Celtic predicted lineup (4-1-4-1): Hart (GK) — Taylor, Jenz, Carter-Vickers, Juranovic — Mooy — Jota, McGregor, Turnbull, O’Riley — Abada
Ancelotti has no fresh injury worries to contend with ahead of this clash with veteran defender Nacho Fernandez still sidelined with a muscle strain.
The former Everton boss could rotate certain players for this tie, with Eduardo Camavinga and Eden Hazard given a chance to impress in Glasgow.
Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-3-3): Courtois (GK) — Mendy, Alaba, Militao, Carvajal — Camavinga, Tchouameni, Kroos — Hazard, Benzema, Valverde
