FC Astra Giurgiu will look to deface a significant Celtic FC milestone as the sides come together for a second time in UEFA Europa League Group D. Form guide • Beaten 2-1 in Glasgow on matchday three, Astra have now lost their last four European games, with their 5-1 matchday one defeat at GNK Dinamo Zagreb their worst European result to date. • Celtic are without a European away win in three games (D2 L1) since beating KR Reykjavík 1-0 in their opening away trip of the season. They have not won in six UEFA group stage away fixtures (D1 L5) since a 3-2 UEFA Champions League success at FC Spartak Moskva in 2012. • Celtic fans with long memories will remember the Hoops' first meeting with Romanian opponents; scored twice as they beat FC Timişoara 2-1 at home in the 1980/81 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but a 1-0 loss in – courtesy of a Dan Păltinişanu strike – spelled an away-goals defeat for Billy McNeill's side. Trivia and links • This is Celtic's 300th UEFA club competition game (the first 299 ended: W142 D51 L106). • No Scottish club has won a UEFA game on Romanian soil in ten meetings (D4 L6); in addition, Kilmarnock FC lost 2-0 at FCM Bacau in the 1970 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup – the non-UEFA-affiliated precursor to the UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League. The coaches • Astra coach Daniel Isăilă was dismissed during the October international break with his side having won just one of their previous seven games in all competitions. • Former Soviet Union forward Oleh Protasov is Astra's new coach, having returned to Romania nine years after a five-month spell as FC Steaua Bucureşti coach. The one-time FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, FC Dynamo Kyiv and Olympiacos FC player has coached in Greece, Cyprus, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus as well as in his native Ukraine. • Celtic coach took charge of the Hoops in June 2014 following a successful spell at Strømsgodset IF in his native . The former Odd Grenland and Viking FK defender led the Drammen club to the 2010 Norwegian Cup title and, in 2013, their first league crown since 1970.
