Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava preview
The Champions League is BACK and Celtic kickstart the new-look competition with a home tie against ŠK Slovan Bratislava.
Brendan Rodgers’ men have been impeccable in the league so far this season, setting the pace after five games having won all five.
Impressive even further when you consider they’ve already faced last year’s 2nd, 3rd and 4th in Rangers, Hearts and Kilmarnock – all at home mind you – and have yet to even concede a goal in those five outings.
But the board and management will no doubt be judged on Europe this season, especially with the draw falling ever so kindly for them.
They finally got the monkey off their back last season of going a decade without winning a home Champions League tie.
So that allows them to attack this competition and they’re a short price to get off to winning ways here.
The Slovakian side have started their own domestic campaign well, too.
They’re top of the table with 15 points from six games, conceding eight in that time however.

Celtic vs Slovan Bratislava prediction and betting tips
Talisman
There was a worry amongst Celtic fans when his name was linked with Manchester City in the summer.
But Kyogo is still in green and white and a strong showing in this competition can help put his name amongst more big clubs across Europe.
Facing competition up top but his movement second to none here and goal against Rangers recently showed the level of quality he has. Can make big contribution here.
