Quotes corner

Celtic captain Callum McGregor: "This is such a big club and you have to win. Your responsibility is to win games and win trophies.

“If you come in and you don’t have the right mindset then you won’t be a success. It is up to the guys who have been there and tasted that to make the group understand that that is what is required.

“Of course you don’t want to frighten them, but that’s football – and football is ruthless. If you come in and you’re not successful, then you won’t be here for long. But we have to get the balance of getting people settled in well and comfortable enough to perform and then you have to play on the edge as well because that is what is required.

“When they come in they see the size of the club but it’s then about how we make them successful and how do we integrate them into the club. That’s the job of the senior players.”

Betting odds

Celtic win: 1/16
