Celtic's Champions League campaign hangs in the balance of a result tomorrow night. Anderlecht visit Celtic Park knowing that Celtic have to win this game.

Two weeks ago we played terrible in Belguim. Anderlecht were under-rated by too many, and Celtic were punished by a team of ten men, for a poor performance.

This time, however, we will have the Parkhead crowd behind the team. This, as we showed against Lyon, can prove to be our twelfth man.

Celts were given some good news when it was announced Liam Miller will be fit for sellection. His injury at the weekend turned out only to be cramp. We have no other fresh injury worries.

Martin O'Neill will most likely play a 4 at the back, as it was tried out against Killie at the weekend. Chris Sutton - the man of the moment - will start again in midfield and O'Neill faces a selection headache of whether or not to play Miller or not.

We know Anderlecht are a good side but if we show them too much respect and let them play, they will punish us. Watch out for their diving and play acting, with an early goal we should be fine and dandy.

Celtic-Mad Prediction: Celtic 2-0 Anderlecht
