Brendan Rodgers' side ended up cruising past Hearts to go three points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership at the weekend, but they will be desperate to make further strides in the Champions League too.

The newly-revamped format handed Celtic a pretty kind fixture list, with the Borussia Dortmund hammering seeming more like a blip as the rounds go by. Now, it's Belgian Pro League champions Club Brugge who are rocking up to Celtic Park and looking to dampen spirits amongst the Hoops faithful.

Rodgers' side are 15th in the new league phase table, with Brugge in 22nd but only one point splits them, meaning they may well end up battling it out for an automatic spot, or they may even end up meeting again yet in the play-off round. Here, Football Scotland gives you all the information you need to follow the action LIVE.

Team news

Celtic have a clean bill of health after their weekend heroics at Tynecastle - and that has led Brendan Rodgers to name an unchanged team from the weekend's football with Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and Arne Engels forming a midfield three - though Liam Scales remains on the bench, despite his left-footed prowess at centre-back.

Club Brugge have been struggling with some defensive issues, with Bjorn Meijer and Gustaf Nilsson both sidelined - and whilst former Hoops defender Dedryck Boyata is on the books at Brugge, he won't be involved after failing to make the Champions League squad. A familiar name is former Liverpool stopper Simon Mignolet, who is between the sticks for the Belgians tonight.

Celtic XI: Schmeichel, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor, McGregor, Engels, Hatate, Kuhn, Maeda, Kyogo.

Celtic bench: Sinisalo, Scales, Palma, Idah, Valle, Yang, McCowan, Nawrocki, Bernardo, Forrest, Ralston, Welsh.

Club Brugge XI: Mignolet, Ordonez, Skov Olsen, Tzolis, Jutgla, Onyedika, Vanaken, Jashari, Mechele, De Cuyper, Seys.

Club Brugge bench: Jackers, Romero, Vetlesen, Vermant, Skoras, Nielsen, Spileers, Sabbe, Talbi.
