LASK vs Celtic - The Football Show LIVE previews a huge European night for Scottish clubs. Celtic head to Austria to defend a 3-0 first-leg lead over LASK, with manager Martin O'Neill banning his players from social media before the game; Rangers take a slender lead to Jablonec under pressure; and Hearts and Hibs chase results away to Rapid Vienna and Gent. The panel also react to Dundee's 2-0 derby win over Dundee United, the new appointments of Tony Docherty and Steven Naismith to the Scotland Under-21s, and pay tribute to the late Kevin Keegan.
WHICH SCOTTISH CLUBS CAN GET THROUGH IN EUROPE?
Celtic are strong favourites to see out their 3-0 lead over LASK in Austria and reach the Champions League. The panel are less sure about Rangers at Jablonec, and expect Hearts (2-2 with Rapid Vienna) and Motherwell to go out, while backing Hibernian to edge past Gent at Easter Road after a 0-0 first leg.
WHY HAS MARTIN O'NEILL BANNED CELTIC FROM SOCIAL MEDIA?
Ahead of the trip to Austria, O'Neill told his players to stay off social media so nothing they post can be used by the opposition - the panel back the move, warning the tie is not over given how well LASK played in the 3-0 defeat at Celtic Park.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DUNDEE DERBY?
Dundee won 2-0 away to Dundee United at Tannadice through Drey Wright and an Owen Bevan own goal, with Ryan Astley man of the match. The panel praise Steven Pressley ("Big Elvis") and ask where Jim Goodwin's Dundee United goals will come from.
WHAT ABOUT RANGERS?
Rangers are closing in on Girona winger Kim Min-su, but the panel question Derek McInnes's blend, expect Nicolas Raskin, Connor Barron and Lyall Cameron to move on, and are not convinced Rangers will survive at Jablonec.
