Celtic must get a positive result in the “difficult” opener with Twente on Tuesday night because it is their most winnable game in the Champions League group stage, says former midfielder Suzanne Lappin.
Elena Sadiku’s side will also face Chelsea and Real Madrid home and away in their maiden campaign in women’s football’s premier club competition.
“It’s a difficult fixture, Twente’s track record in the Champions League is very decent. ” Lappin told BBC Scotland’s Behind the Goals podcast.
“If you look at the three opponents it’s probably the game they’ll have more chance of getting something from. So from Celtic’s point of view they need to try and get something from the game.
“Being your home tie, you need to try and win those in any competition and tonight is no different.
“It’s going to be really, really tough because there is no easy game at this stage in the Champions League.”
