Celtic return to Europa League action on Thursday night when they face Inter Milan in the first leg of their last-32 tie at Parkhead.

The game is live on BT Sport, kick-off 8.05pm, with the return match in the San Siro on Thursday February 26, kick-off 6.00pm.

Ronny Deila's side progressed from Group D as runners-up to Salzburg and have a 100% record in domestic football since the turn of the year. The Italians qualified for the knock-out stages by topping Group F, ahead of Dnipro, Qarabag and St Etienne.

Inter won 4-1 at Atalanta in their latest Serie A game at the weekend but Roberto Mancini's side are down in 10th place, with only eight wins from 23 fixtures.

The sides have met in two previous seasons in the European Cup – Celtic famously won the 1967 final 2-1 in Lisbon while Inter won the 1971/72 semi-final on penalties after two 0-0 draws.
