New Hoops manager Wilfried Nancy lost his first game in charge at home to Scottish Premiership rivals Hearts last time out. However, they hope to have better luck against Roma, with qualification for the knockout phase of this competition well within reach. Celtic currently sit in 21st place in the Europa League first phase table, knowing they need to consolidate their place in the top 24 to keep their hopes of progressing alive.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma have secured three wins in their five Europa League matches this season, and will be confident of adding another win. They come into this match like a wounded animal after suffering consecutive defeats in Serie A against Napoli and Cagliari, respectively. Their last trip to Scotland was fruitful, comfortably beating Celtic’s biggest rivals Rangers 2-0.

Celtic Team News
Nancy’s Celtic will continue without Jota, Marcelo Saracchi, Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand and Cameron Carter-Vickers. James Forrest is close to returning, but the matchup against the Italian team will be too soon for him. Celtic will continue to rely on Benjamin Nygren, who has scored twice in five UEL games this season.
Roma Team News
Roma will head to Celtic Park without Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, who has been absent for several weeks due to a thigh injury. Gasperini will also be without Edoardo Bove as he is said to be unfit for this match and will be forced to sit out once again. In more encouraging news for the Italians, Brazilian winger Wesley will be available after a brief injury layoff and could walk straight into the team. Roma’s biggest threat could come from youngster Matias Soule, who has shown that he can cause serious problems for almost any defense.
