Celtic head into their European qualifying clash tonight full of confidence after scoring ten goals in their last two outings.
It has been a quick period of recovery from the Hoops who began Ange Postecoglou’s reign with back to back defeats.
They crashed out of the Champions League but have a strong chance of qualifying for the Europa League group stages.
The Bhoys beat Czech outfit Jablonec last week and they head into the second leg on Thursday evening with a 4-2 advantage.
Celtic played some eye-catching attacking football in the first fixture but made changes to the team at the weekend which resulted in a 6-0 win over Dundee.

Therefore, will Postecoglou make any different calls to his XI tonight? Here’s what we’re predicting…
We are tipping the manager to make as many as four changes to his team to take on Jablonec.
With Odsonne Edouard a doubt for the match with an ankle problem, Kyogo Furuhashi starts up top as he aims to add to his tally of four goals in just three outings.
There is one change to the offensive ranks where Ryan Christie is given a rest following his magical cameo on Sunday where he registered three assists. James Forrest – who scored in the first leg – comes back into the team on the left.
Another replacement is in the middle of the park where Ismaila Soro returns to the fray to offer more defensive protection in front of the back four.
Tom Rogic earned a rare start versus Dundee and even scored but it’s likely that Postecoglou will prefer a less attacking team on Thursday to protect the lead that they have.
Greg Taylor drops out at left-back with 19-year-old Adam Montgomery preferred. If the teenager does start, it would be just a second outing from the off in the first team.
One final change is at the heart of the defence as Nir Bitton comes back in after starting in the first leg. That means Stephen Welsh is axed with their clash against Hearts in mind.
Joe Hart continues in goal ahead of Scott Bain and Vasilis Barkas.
AND in other news, Celtic must sign 25-goal “great talent” who could become “better” than Henrik Larsson…
