The tormented an oil rich Manchester City in a 3-3 thriller, but in all honesty the visitors should have their biggest embarrassment if the Celts were sharper in the finishing department. They did suffer a heavy 7-0 defeats from the hands of mighty Barcelona at Camp Nou on the opening matchday.
The clash against Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday is a crucial one whose outcome could be key in Celtic’s route to Europa League this season. Or maybe to keep alive the slimmest chance of sneaking into the top 2 of the group at the expense of one of the two giants.
Borussia Monchengladbach have suffered back-to-back defeats in their opening two matches in Group C. Coming from a 4-0 embarrassing defeat at Manchester City on matchday 1, they did put a real fight against Barcelona at home. But two second half goals saved Barcelona from an otherwise embarrassing defeat. The Borussians are not having the best of the run in their domestic league as well. They are currently on a three match win-less run in all competitions.
