Celtic have kept just three clean sheets in 13 games
Utrecht have scored in three of their last four Europa League games
Recommended bet: Celtic to win & Both Teams to Score
Martin O'Neill has presided over a five-game unbeaten run since returning for a second stint as interim Celtic boss.
The Hoops face Utrecht at Parkhead in their final Europa League contest sitting 24th in the standings, right on the cutline for progression to the knockout stages.
Victory over the already eliminated Dutch side Utrecht would guarantee Celtic's progress and their efforts under O'Neill suggest that they can achieve that goal.

Team news
Reo Hatate is suspended for the home side after being sent off at Bologna a week ago, while Kieran Tierney went off in the weekend draw against Hearts and is a doubt.
Tomas Cvancara impressed in his Celtic debut at Tynecastle but is ineligible for this game.
Alistair Johnston, Callum Osmand, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Jota, Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi are longer-term absentees for the Glasgow giants.

Prediction
This essentially amounts to a home cup tie for Celtic. Win and they are guaranteed progress to the knockout stages, anything less and their fate is out of their hands.
Utrecht have struggled in this competition, with one point from seven games. They have only scored three goals, but they all came in different games, as they breached the defences of Porto, Real Betis and Nottingham Forest in their last four continental assignments.
It took an 88th minute winner from Igor Jesus to get Forest over the line and Celtic will need to be wary.
The Scottish champions have found clean sheets hard to come by, with just three in 13 domestic and European games since early December.
Utrecht may get on the scoresheet, but the Dutch side have conceded at least twice in four of their last five in Europe and Celtic should have enough firepower to get over the line in the end, with O'Neill's record in Europe this season showing a win at Feyenoord and a draw in Bologna from three outings.
