Celtic Park hosts a very rare European match tonight- one in which there is very little at stake!
True a win could well clinch top place but when the draw was made most Celtic fans would have settled for second place at the end of Matchday Six regardless of how it was achieved.
Qualification after four matches is completely unchartered territory for Celtic supporters and pays full testimony to the JOB DONE by Neil Lennon and his squad.
Morning all, match day is here again, let’s give 100% on and off the pitch and get the job done. Celtic could win this group tonight and that would be some achievement given the level of opposition the team has faced HH pic.twitter.com/gd904pM1Xk

Tonight’s match will lack an essential edge. At home to Lazio the match and the group could have swung dramatically at various stages with the drama of the Celtic goals matched by the saves from Fraser Forster.
Even without the edge the pre-match atmosphere will be familiar, the build-up, the warm-up and the fans getting lifted, emotionally, not by Police Scotland as the Disco Lights lead up to the teams arriving on the pitch.
This season Celtic fans have warmed to the charm of the Europa League with well balanced matches where the home team has every chance of success if they hit top form.
Hopefully next autumn will see a return of the Champions League build-up after a three-year absence.
