Celtic vs LASK prediction
Martin O’Neill came back twice last season to eventually steer Celtic to the Scottish Premiership title, pipping Heart of Midlothian on the final day of the season. Over the summer, The Bhoys have been active in the transfer market, breaking their club-record to sign Kasper Hogh, a hero of Bodo/Glimt’s run last season.
LASK managed to beat the likes of Sturm Graz and Red Bull Salzburg to win just their second ever Austrian Bundesliga title and a first since the 1964-65 campaign. Dietmar Kuhbauer, formerly of Rapid Vienna and Wolfsberger, returned to the club last season to help them win that title.
The former Real Sociedad midfielder has done an impressive job with LASK and they may well cause Celtic a lot of issues here, especially with the Scots typically complacent in games like this.
Celtic vs LASK tip: Double chance – LASK to win or draw
