Celtic host RB Leipzig tonight (Tuesday) in the UEFA Champions League in what is expected to be a hotly-contested Matchday Four encounter in Glasgow's east end.
With a 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava at Parkhead, a 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Germany, and a hard-fought but well-earned goalless draw against Atalanta in Italy, Celtic have accrued four points after three games.
This positions Brendan Rodgers and his players in 20th place out of 36 in the competition's new-look group-phase.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, have lost all three matches so far – despite sitting second in the German Budesliga behind Bayern Munich – positioning them in 31st place.
Ahead of tonight's encounter, here's how each side has fared in their last five games.
