Atletico Madrid vs Celtic live stream: how to watch Champions League clash on TV and online

Celtic are preparing for their toughest test yet in the UEFA Champions League group stage when they travel to Spain to face Atletico Madrid for the second European match in a row.

Brendan Rodgers’ side warmed up for the must-win clash with a 3-0 Scottish Premiership victory over Ross County in Dingwall at the weekend and they now make the trip to the Spanish capital with the group at the halfway stage.

The Scottish champions currently sit bottom of Group E with one point from their opening three games - a thrilling 2-2 draw earned against the La Liga giants a fortnight ago at Celtic Park. Atletico are in second spot on five points, behind leaders Feyenoord (six), with third-placed Lazio on four.

The Hoops will know a victory is required to give to keep their knockout round hopes alive, but that will be a massive challenge against Diego Simeone’s side as they eye a long-overdue famous result in Europe.

With the prospect of a place in the last-16 of the competition fading, defeat would move Atletico seven points clear of the Hoops, with Feyenoord and Lazio facing off in the other tie.

Who are the UEFA match officials?

Slovakian referee Ivan Kružliak has been appointed by UEFA as the man in the middle for Tuesday’s match. The experienced 39-year-old previously took charge of Celtic’s Champions League clash with AC Milan in the San Siro back in 2015. His ropey performance and decision making during the game resulted in the club launching an appeal against Virgil van Dijk’s dismissal and his overall display.

Kružliak’s assistant lineman have yet to be confirmed, with Peter Kráľovič confirmed as the fourth official. UEFA have yet to confirm who takes charge of VAR duties.
