Prediction: 2-1
Celtic
Feyenoord and Celtic face each other in Rotterdam in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Tuesday’s program. The Rotterdammers have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team crushing Heerenveen 6-1 at the weekend and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against Celtic. The bad news for the hosts is that top scorer Santiago Gimenez misses out through suspension, while all Bijlow, Nieuwkoops, and Ueda are out of contention with injuries.
The Hoops, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Dundee FC, but seeing that Feyenoord have turned their De Kuip into a real fortress, we do not believe that the Scottish champions are capable of grabbing something from their Champions League opener. The likes of McCarthy, Carter-Vickers, Abada, Nawrocki, Tilio, and Welsh should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.

Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
