The Champions League is BACK as Celtic get ready to test themselves at Europe's top table once again. But this time around the competition has a brand new look and structure with one 36 team league in operation.

The new format sees each club play eight matches in total - four home and four away - with the top 24 teams booking knockout football with teams 25 to 36 eliminated from Europe altogether.

Those clubs bagging a top eight finish go automatically into the last 16 with clubs 9th to 24th earning a two-legged play-off battle for the right to join those finishing in the top section of the league phase.

Brendan Rodgers and his troops have been handed a favourable start as they welcome Slovan Bratislava to Parkhead. The Scottish champions have been perfect domestically to date with five wins from five, including a weekend win over Hearts going into this one and the top team at Record Sport have given their predictions on the big night under the lights in Glasgow's east end.
