    I´m pretty sure after the disappointing 0:0 against Malaga Barca will Show their real face and win this game.
    I like Celtic too but i think Barca is too good for them.
    Celtic lost sever of their nine games against Barca and the form is not the best ( Source: http://www.online-betting.me.uk/news/celtic-v-barcelona-predictions-betting-odds-23rd-november-2016.html )
    Celtic haven´t won any of their last six home games in a Europe competition so i don´t see that this record will change.
