Is Celtic Vs Real Madrid on TV? Stream details, kick-off time and team news for Champions League group stage tie

Champions League group stage football returns to Celtic Park for the first time since 2017 and holders Real Madrid will mark the occasion with a trip to Glasgow to take on the Scottish champions.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have won all seven of their Premiership matches at the start of the season, while the Spanish giants have also won their first five in all competitions, meaning both teams will put their 100 per cent unbeaten records on the line.

The Hoops warmed up for what is set to be a night to savour in Glasgow’s East End with a dominant 4-0 thrashing of bitter rivals Rangers on Saturday, which moved them five points clear at the top of the table.

Celtic have been in scintillating goal scoring form in recent weeks and will now look to carry that momentum into the start of their Group F campaign, where they will also face RB Leipzig and Shakthar Donetsk at later dates.

A runners-up place in the section looks achievable on paper given the club’s current run of form and Postecoglou’s side will receive the vocal backing of another capacity crowd on Tuesday night.

Celtic’s last appearance in the group stage of the competition saw them finish in third spot before losing to Zenit St Petersburg in the last-32 of the Europa League.

They did, however, advance out of their group in the European Cup in season 2012/13, before losing out to Juventus in the round of 16 and the club have enjoyed plenty of historic nights at Parkhead in Europe.

Real Madrid - the current holders - lifted the trophy for the 14th time last season by beating Liverpool in the final and the reigning La Liga champions claimed further silverware after defeating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the UEFA Super Cup last month.

The last meeting between the sides took place in the quarter-finals of the 1979/80 European Cup, Celtic losing 2-0 in the first leg in Glasgow before sealing a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture to progress to the semi-finals.
