With Slovan Bratislava and Borussia Dortmund now in Celtic's Champions League rear-view mirror, Brendan Rodgers and his players look forward to a further six games in this year's competition.  

Those take the shape of Atalanta (A), RB Leipzig (H), Club Brugge (H), Dinamo Zagreb (A), Young Boys (H) and Aston Villa (A) in the new-look, eight-match format. 

With a storming 5-1 win and a disappointing 7-1 defeat so far, Celtic's results have been mixed – and while keen to bounce back on Matchday Three, facing-off against last season's UEFA Europa League winners on their home turf will be far from straightforward. 

A result of any kind on the road in Italy would likely be a bonus, as Celtic stare down a further three home games in the coming weeks and months. 

Granted, Celtic's Champions League hopes won't be decided on Matchday Three, especially given this year's league-phase (which replaced the old group-stage this season) has two extra games. 

But in any event, here's how the Hoops have fared in their third UCL encounter, every year since their first tournament feature in 2001.
