Martino's men will have enough with a draw to guarantee top spot in the group

  • Barça have won both their previous home games in Group H, beating Ajax 4-0 and AC Milan 3-1.

  • Only one Scottish team has won at the Camp Nou - Dundee United in the 1987 UEFA Cup quarter finals.
  • Cesc is suspended after picking up a yellow in the last game, but Alexis is back after missing the Ajax game for the same reason.

  • The ref for the game is the Russian Sergei Karasev, who will be in charge of a Champions League game for the fifth time, although he has never reffed either Barça or Celtic.
