After a thrilling 3-3 draw between the sides in Glasgow last week, Celtic face Inter in the second leg of their Europa League last-32 clash. Two goals in the first 12 minutes for the Italians looked likely to kill the tie off completely, but Celtic fought back well and, thanks to John Guidetti's last-minute goal, the Scottish champions know they can seal a place in the final 16 with a win of any kind in Italy. For Inter, any draw lower than 3-3 will take them through.

Matthews is on the pitch and we're back underway.
2'
Right-back Adam Matthews is down and in pain already. He had to chase down Icardi after a forceful early run and fell awkwardly. The Welsh international looks like he will be able to continue, though.

Slovakian referee Ivan Kruzliak blows his whistle and we're underway!

Can Celtic secure a momentus win at the San Siro? It would be one of their best victories in years and would earn them a spot in the last 16.
17:55
Once again, there is no Lukas Podolski in the Inter squad. Roberto Mancini's side were only allowed to add one of their January signings to their Europa League list and they opted for Shaqiri rather than the on loan Arsenal forward.
17:50
Scott Brown and Nir Biton will be critical for the visitors as the holding players in Celtic's midfield. They will have to contain Inter's attackers to have any chance in this match.
17:45
Stuart Armstong and Gary Mackay-Steven continue in the Celtic side having signed for from Dundee United on transfer deadline day. Armstrong's goal after 24 minutes was the catalyst for Celtic's comeback and he could make himself even more of a favourite with his new fans with a winner at the Giuseppe Meazza.
17:40
Xherdan Shaqiri and Rodrigo Palacio caused Celtic plenty of problems in the first leg and with Mauro Icardi and Fredy Guarin also in excellent form domestically, there are certainly plenty of threats that the Scottish side need to be wary of.
17:30
Having gone 11 games unbeaten in all competitions, Celtic are certainly in good form ahead of this. That said, they don't often play teams of Inter's quality and with the Italian's winning three wins of their last four matches, it's going to be tough for Ronny Deila's side.

17:15
Just one change to the starting 11 for Celtic from the side which held the Italians in Glasgow, with late hero John Guidetti starting in attack in place of Leigh Griffiths. There are two changes for home side Inter, meanwhile, with Zdravko Kuzmanovic losing out to Hernanes in midfield and Danilo D'Ambrosio earning a place in the defence instead of Hugo Campagnaro.
