More Scottish failure here tonight, i recently tipped up Sion to beat Celtic on here and they did easily 3-1, i even managed to predict the score, well low and behold Celtic are back in the Europa League after Sion were thrown out, i loved this news not because i'm a Celtic fan but because i can take advantage of how abysmal they are, adding to that even is the fact they will have one eye on the Old Firm Derby with Rangers at the weekend.
I see no other results than an emphatic home win, Celtic don't have the capabilities to sit back and defend competently as their defence is atrocious and they don't have the quality to play an open game either, i see a comfortable home win here, probably by 3 goals, i'll be safer and play -1.5 @ 2.1.
Recommended bet Atletico -1.5 @ 2.1
Score prediction Atletico Madrid 3-0 Celtic
Team News
Celtic travelled to Spain for their first Europa League group encounter without captain Scott Brown and striker Anthony Stokes.
Brown is resting an ankle problem with a view to being fit for Sunday's Old Firm derby, while Stokes picked up a thigh strain in training.
Centre-half Daniel Majstorovic is suspended after being sent off in the play-off second leg in Sion.
Full-back Badr El-Kaddouri, on loan from Dinamo Kiev, is cup-tied.
Celtic assistant Johan Mjallby hopes both Brown and Stokes can recover in time for the weekend visit to Ibrox.
"I think it is too early to say," explained the Swede.
"Unfortunately they will not be available for tomorrow night but they still have a chance for Sunday.
"Anthony has a thigh strain, he shouldn't be too bad but we were surprised to see that he picked it up in training yesterday and that's it, we have to deal with it."
