Team news, stats and prediction as Celtic host Copenhagen in the last 32 of the Europa League.
Skipper Scott Brown and winger James Forrest will return from injury for Celtic's Europa League clash with FC Copenhagen at Parkhead on Thursday night.
Veteran midfielder Brown suffered a calf injury in the 1-1 first-leg draw, while Forrest missed out with a knock but Neil Lennon has confirmed both are fit.
Midfielder Olivier Ntcham remains out with a calf problem. Attacker Ryan Christie is suspended while defender Hatem Abd Elhamed is working his way back from a groin injury with forward Mikey Johnston (knee) still out.
Dame N'Doye scored for Copenhagen in their first leg and is likely to be a chief threat.
The Premiership is in the bag for Celtic and I think this will be a comfortable European night. Copenhagen have no pace up front and little quality in the centre-back department.
Dame N'Doye scored against Celtic - he is a handful but Celtic could play a high line without getting too worried. The two Copenhagen midfielders are decent talents but the rest, I think, are average.
It could be more than this but Celtic will turn it on again, regardless. Through to the last 16 for Neil Lennon's side.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: Celtic 2-0 FC Copenhagen (9/2 with Sky Bet)
