Manager Neil Lennon knows no matter how many AC Milan players are injured his side will still be second favourite for this game regardless.Kaka, Riccardo Montolivo, Stephan El-Shaarawy and defenders Ignazio Abate and Mattia De Sciglio are all missing but Lennon says they'll probably stick with the system that drew 2-all away to Torino during the weekend , Massimo Allegri’s men scoring two goals in the last few minutes to rescue a point.
Milan have had a slow start to their domestic season collecting just 4 points from their opening three games.
These two have some shared history trading home wins when they met in the 2007/08 group stage. Scott McDonald's 89th-minute winner earned Celtic a 2-1 home success following goals by Stephen McManus (61) and Kaká (68), but Carlo Ancelotti's men avenged that defeat with a 1-0 victory at San Siro in their final group fixture, Filippo Inzaghi scoring (70). Gordon Strachan's Celtic still joined Milan in the last 16 as group runners-up.
Ireland striker Anthony Stokes is looking to impress whoever his new international manager is and he has done that so far scoring 4 goals in 7 appearances, Lennon has been talking about him amongst other things ahead of this game.
