Celtic vs Celta Vigo Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | Europa League 2026-27
The previous outing between these clubs took place in 2002!
Celtic FC are all set to lock horns with Celta de Vigo for their third league phase contest of the UEFA Europa League 2026-27 outing. This can turn out to be an entertaining outing, taking place at Celtic Park.
The Scottish Premiership club has been quite inconsistent with their performances lately. They have lost both of their first two fixtures of the European competition this season and will now be desperate to get back to winning ways.
Martin O’Neill’s men will be at their home ground for their upcoming fixture and it is going to be one of the advantages for them. Celtic FC can attack well, but must also focus on their performance in defence.
It has been a similar sort of story for Os Celestes in the UEFA Europa League this season so far. They have faced consecutive defeats in their first two games of the competition and can be under pressure for their next one.
Celta de Vigo lost their opening Europa League game to Omonia Nicosia and then fell prey to Juventus. The Claudio Giráldez-led side will have to come up with a consistent performance in the final third if they want to secure three points.

Players to Watch
Camilo Duran (Celtic)
The 24-year-old has now scored in both of his last two games for Celtic FC. He was the sole goal scorer in a 1-4 loss against Benfica and was one of the goal scorers for his side in the 7-1 victory against Heart of Midlothian. Camilo Duran is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front and will be looking to engrave his name on the scoresheet once again.
Ferrán Jutglà (Celta Vigo)
Ferrán Jutglà will be looking to step up his game so that he can help Celta Vigo secure their first win in the UEFA Europa League. He opened the scoring for his side in their 2-1 win against Alaves in LaLiga and will now be keen to display a top performance in the European competition.
