Celtic manager Neil Lennon will hope to guide his side to a result to ease the pressure on him when they face AC Milan in the Europa League.

The Scottish side have won just two of their last 10 in all competitions and are already out of the running to qualify for the knock-outs after one point from four games.

AC Milan will be through if they win this game and Lille beat Sparta Prague in the group’s other game.

They beat Fiorentina at the weekend and are top of the table in Serie A, enjoying what could be their best season in years.

Here’s everything you need to know before kick-off.

When is the match?

The game kicks off at 5:55pm on Thursday, 3 December.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 3. Subscribers will be able to stream the match via the BT Sport app and desktop website.

What is the team news?

Milan are without injured forwards Rafael Leao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Centre-back Mateo Musacchio is also out, but otherwise Milan are in good shape and can rotate their team heavily if they wish.

Celtic could be without James Forrest again and as they are already out of contention to finish in the top two, boss Lennon could swap the team around to give those a chance who have not featured as much of late.

Predicted line-ups

ACM: G Donnarumma; Dalot, Gabbia, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Castillejo, Diaz, Hauge; Rebic

CEL: Bain; Frimpong, Jullien, Ajer, Laxalt; Brown, McGregor; Christie, Ntcham, Elyounoussi; Edouard

Odds

Milan - 4/11

Draw - 5/1

Celtic - 17/2

Prediction

Milan will want to get the job done and continue their recent good form so a home win is rather predictable. Celtic have been on an appalling run and have nothing to play for. Milan 3-0 Celtic
