Celtic manage to draw with Rennes two weeks ago and they can ease the pressure on Neil Lennon’s shoulders by winning tonight

Celtic v Rennes, Thursday 20:05 BST, ESPN, Match odds: Celtic 2.54, Rennes 3.15, The Draw 3.4

Neil Lennon accused his Celtic players of letting down both him and his backroom staff and questioned their commitment after a goalless draw at home to Hibernian left them 12 points behind Rangers in the SPL.

Given the desperate domestic situation, the Europa League is therefore something of an unnecessary distraction, however their form has picked up in it of late, with draws against Udinese and Rennes keeping them in contention for a knockout round berth.

The one thing that they haven't actually done yet in Europe is win, but there's reason to believe that the return fixture with Rennes at Parkhead provides their best chance yet of getting off the mark, with meaty odds of 2.54 offered on them delivering.

Rennes are stalling after a decent start on all fronts and following a defeat to Toulouse have won just three of their last 11 games, firing blanks in three of their last four on the road. Celtic meanwhile are unbeaten in four as hosts in this competition and have conceded only once in that period.

Over/under 2.5 goals

Even domestically, the Bhoys haven't been too prolific recently, scoring two or fewer in six of their last seven in front of their fans, so under 2.5 goals looks the right way to go at 1.8.

Celtic win to nil

Celtic victories in Europe are rare enough so backing them to triumph without conceding either is fairly optimistic, but they have shipped only three in their last seven home matches, and one of those a penalty.

4.5 is consequently a rather generous price, especially in the context of Rennes' aforementioned struggle for goals on their travels.
