Celtic take on Ajax at Parkhead in matchday five of the Europa League on Thursday night, live on BT Sport with an 8.05pm kick-off.

Ronny Deila's men go into the game having suffered back-to-back defeats to Molde, with Fenerbahce currently best placed to join the Norwegians in the last 32.

Celtic - who finish away to Fenerbahce - can still qualify from Group A but will be without banned duo Nir Bitton and Stefan Johansen and injured pair Scott Brown and Kris Commons.

Deila, whose side drew 2-2 in Amsterdam, told the club website: "It’s about performance and I’m really looking forward to it. It’s a big match and a big opportunity to get three points and if we do that then we will put it in our own hands in Turkey.

“We have to go to win the game - that’s the same for Ajax as well so it’s going to be a very interesting game."
