Celtic welcome Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid to Parkhead in the Champions League on Wednesday.
After losing their first two games in the group, the hosts are on the brink of elimination, while Atletico are flying high, especially domestically.
Their opening two group defeats have continued a dreadful run in this competition which has seen Celtic win just one of their previous 23 group stage matches - losing 17.
Form at home was always going to be vital, and they are now without a home win in the Champions League for over a decade, since they beat Ajax here in October 2013 - drawing two and losing nine since.
The visit of Atletico is unlikely to be welcomed either given Celtic's recent record against Spanish sides, losing nine of their past 10 encounters.
Self-destruction and hard luck has been the story of their brief European campaign so far, as they had two men sent off at De Kuip as Feyenoord comfortably beat them 2-0.
