Is it on TV?
Yes. BT Sport 3 will be broadcasting the match live with their coverage beginning at 5:15pm.
What are the pre-match odds?
Inzaghi's side are the odds-on favourites to get the three points tonight and can be backed at around 7/10. If you fancy Celtic to cause an upset, though, most bookies are offering odds of around 4/1 for a win for the Scottish champions.
What's the latest team news?
Boli Bolingoli, Tom Rogic, Leigh Griffiths and Mikey Johnstone all stayed in Glasgow and will play no part tonight. That means that either Jonny Hayes or Greg Taylor will come in a left-back, while Ryan Christie is expected to replace Rogic after sitting out the League Cup semi-final win over Hibs at the weekend.
Inzaghi, meanwhile, has a striking crisis of his own to deal with. Forwards Felipe Caicedo and Joaquin Correa are not match-fit but may start anyway, while former Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva is also a doubt for the Serie A side.
