Celtic need to make some key improvements if they want to give themselves a chance of beating besiktas on Thursday night.

Writing for The Celtic Bhoys, Jamie Kemble argues that Celtic must resolve two critical tactical flaws to secure a result against Besiktas in their upcoming Europa League match on Thursday night. With Celtic currently without a point in European competition and facing a Turkish side with seven points, Kemble states that major improvements are urgently needed to keep their qualification hopes alive.
According to the writer, manager O'Neill must tactically protect an exposed midfield that frequently allows opponents space to shoot on the edge of the box. Additionally, Kemble argues Celtic must fix the disconnect between their wingers and central strikers, noting poor cross delivery from wide players and ill-disciplined box positioning from forwards like Kasper Hogh.
