Overview

• Kickoff is 20:00 BST at Belgrade’s Rajko Mitic Stadium, with TNT Sports and discovery+ showing the match in the UK, BBC Radio Scotland providing audio, and Paramount+ streaming in the U.S.
• SBK prices Celtic at 6/4, Red Star at 17/10 and the draw at 5/2, reflecting slight favoritism for the visitors.
• Red Star top the Serbian SuperLiga on a seven-match winning run, powered by Aleksandar Katai’s 12 goals in 13 games and new signing Marko Arnautovic’s early goal-and-three-assist return.
• Celtic face one of Europe’s most intimidating venues and a test of their recent away record in Europe, with Daizen Maeda highlighted as their key attacking outlet after a strong domestic start and four Champions League goals last season.
• Red Star’s summer outgoings exceeded £40m, a factor in their Champions League exit to Pafos, and pre‑match markets include bets such as Arnautovic to score or assist.
