Celtic welcome Serie A giants AC Milan to Parkhead tomorrow evening in the opening Europa League group stage game of the season.

The Hoops have perhaps not had the best preparation for the big match having lost 2-0 to Rangers at home last weekend. But a win in European competition would be the ideal way for Neil Lennon's side to  bounce back.

The clash is set to be an entertaining one regardless, as is always the case when a Euro powerhouse comes to town. But is the game on TV? What channel can we watch it on? What is the team news?

Here's all you need to know.

When and where is the game taking place?

Celtic host Milan at Parkhead on Thursday, October 22.

Kick-off is at 8pm.
