And the book is open as to how many goals they will win by.

For the Scottish champions will be praying for home comforts, having suffered a humiliating 7-0 loss in their opening group C curtain-raiser at Barcelona.

Rampant City, meanwhile, claimed a 6-0 aggregate win against Steaua Bucharest in the play-off round and Guardiola’s team won their first group match as a Sergio Aguero hat-trick eased them to a 4-0 victory against Borussia Monchengladbach.

City have scored two or more goals in all but one of those 10 matches and, with Aguero in sensational form – the striker has hit 11 goals in seven competitive outings for his side so far this season – it would be brave to back against that trend continuing.

Especially when you think that Celtic have managed just one clean sheet in their last nine matches in the Champions League.
