If Celtic lose again and Manchester City FC avoid defeat in the section's other game against FC Barcelona, the Scottish champions' elimination from the running for a last-16 spot will be confirmed. Previous meetings • Prior to this season, the teams' solitary encounter was a Celtic Park friendly on 27 July 2013, Gladbach prevailing 2- 1 through goals by Granit Xhaka and Branimir Hrgota. Anthony Stokes was Celtic's scorer. • The line-ups were: Celtic: Załuska, Fisher, Mouyokolo, Ambrose (Mulgrew 46), Waters (Matthews 63), Herron (Henderson 68), Brown (Stokes 46), McGregor (Ledley 63), Commons (McGeouch 46), Baldé (Atajić 81), Watt. Gladbach: Ter Stegen, Korb (Jantschke 70), Stranzl, Domínguez (Brouwers 70), Daems (Wendt 70), Kramer, Xhaka (Nordtveit 62), Rupp (Herrmann 62), Younes (Hrgota 62), Raffael, Kruse (De Jong 70). Match background Gladbach • André Schubert's men have had mixed fortunes at home in this season's competition, having beaten BSC Young Boys 6-1 in the play-offs but then lost 2-1 against Barcelona on matchday two. • They last hosted Scottish visitors in the 1986/87 UEFA Cup semi-finals when losing 2-0 to Dundee United FC in their home second leg, after a goalless draw at Tannadice. • Their overall home record against teams from Scotland is W3 D1 L2. • Gladbach suffered their heaviest European defeat against Celtic's city rivals Rangers FC – an 8-0 reverse at Ibrox in the 1960/61 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals. Celtic • Celtic's last away trip in the UEFA Champions League brought their record European defeat – a 7-0 reverse at Barcelona on matchday one. Overall they are on a nine-match winless run on their travels in UEFA competition. • They have never won in Germany, where their record reads D2 L7. • On their last visit to Germany on 5 November 2009, they earned a 0-0 draw at Hamburger SV in the UEFA Europa League group stage. • Paul Lambert, Shaun Maloney and Stiliyan Petrov scored when Celtic last overcame German opposition – 3-1 at home against VfB Stuttgart in the 2002/03 UEFA Cup fourth round. Coach and player links • Brendan Rodgers' only official international appearances as a player came with Northern Ireland in a UEFA European Under-16 Championship tie against the German Democratic Republic in 1988/89 (0-0 h, 1-3 a). • This match brings Gladbach old boy Logan Bailly back to the club where he made 61 Bundesliga appearances between 2009 and 2012. • Oscar Wendt was on the bench when FC København lost 1-0 at Celtic in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage, playing 90 minutes in the Danish side's 3-1 success in the return fixture. • Kolo Touré made his European debut as a substitute in Arsenal FC's 2-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund in September 2002. He scored his first UEFA Champions League goal against FC Bayern München in Arsenal's 3-1 away defeat in the 2004/05 round of 16. • Scott Sinclair made his only UEFA Champions League appearance for Manchester City in a 1-0 defeat at Dortmund in the 2012/13 group stage. • Christoph Kramer appeared as a 92nd-minute substitute in Germany's 3-2 victory at Hampden Park in a UEFA EURO 2016 qualifier against a Scotland side including Scott Brown and James Forrest.
