Broadcast info
Who's playing? The Scottish Premier League champions will host Manchester City with nothing on their minds but saving their pride after being torn apart by Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola's men have dazzled all the opposition, winning each and everyone of their games in all competitions. Will Rodgers' team be able to end their current streak? Or will Guardiola's side hand the Hoops another massive beating?
What time? Wednesday, September 28th at 11:45 PDT/ 14:45 EDT/ 18:45 GMT/ 19:45 BST/ 20:45 CEST
What stadium? Celtic Park, located in Glasgow. The legendary 124-year old venue will surely have a sellout crowd of 60,355 fans packing its stands to see if the hosts can bounce back from their worst defeat in a continental tournament while facing one of the top candidates to win the title.

The English team gets to this game with two confirmed absences and one cast away. Pep Guardiola will once again be without captain Vincent Kompany and Fabian Delph, while Yaya Touré will have to watch this game on TV after being left out of the UCL squad by Pep Guardiola.
One of the talking points prior to this match involved Raheem Sterling and Brendan Rodgers. The pair, who worked together at Liverpool a couple of years ago, will re-unite at Celtic Park on Wednesday, and the Citizens' Twitter feed showed the world a token of just how he has developed with them.
