Celtic face a huge task to advance to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League when they travel to Germany for the second leg of their play-off tie against Stuttgart on Thursday, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

The Scottish side have a 4-1 deficit to overturn, having lost at home last week. But with a place in the last 16 of the competition at stake, Celtic will be going all out to try and record a famous comeback. 

And they will certainly need Kasper Schmeichel back at his best, after the goalkeeper's error handed Stuttgart one of their goals at Celtic Park.

It will be a difficult ask for Martin O'Neill’s side, with Stuttgart fourth in the Bundesliga and coming into this match on a three-game unbeaten streak. 

The Neckarstadion will be bouncing, too, with the home fans sure to do everything in their power to see Stuttgart into the last 16 - the winners set to face either Braga or Porto. 

Given Celtic are not running away with the Scottish Premiership title as they have done so many times in the past - indeed, they sit third, albeit with a game in hand - the Europa League might be their best chance of a UEFA Champions League place for next season.

The draw for the last 16 takes place on Friday, February 27.
