Celtic are potentially 90 minutes away from reaching the main phase of the Champions League.

The Hoops were held to a 0-0 draw vs Kairat Almaty at Celtic Park last week and looked lacklustre but know that they are still favourites for the tie.

Kairat have four players unavailable for the second leg while Brendan Rodgers rotated his side for the win against Livingston.

A win would also be a huge boost to the finances as the Champions League money is far superior to the Europa League money.
