Celtic will be aiming for revenge against Cluj who knocked the Scottish champions out of the Champions League third qualifying round back in August.

The first match day saw Celtic draw 1-1 away at Rennes.
Cluj were beaten by Slavia Prague in the final Champions League qualifying round following their 5-4 aggregate triumph over Celtic. This means they find themselves in the Europa League group stage this term, and they have already seen some success having beaten Lazio in their first match. The Romanian champions again lead the way on the domestic scene this term as they have lost just one of their opening 11 league matches.
CELTIC (4-2-3-1): Fraser Forster; Hatem Elhamed, Christopher Jullien, Kristoffer Ajer, Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo; Scott Brown, Callum McGregor; James Forrest, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Ryan Christie; Odsonne Edouard.
