ROBERTO MANCINI's Zenit Saint Petersburg are looking to turn around a 1-0 deficit from their first leg defeat in the Europa League round of 32 to Celtic on Thursday.

The Russian club, who won the competition in its original guise back in 2008, will not want a repeat of their exit from the competition at the same stage last season - when they lost on away goals to Belgian side Anderlecht.

Celtic are aiming to go one better than their Europa League final appearance back in 2003 as they attempt to withstand their slender lead.

The Hoops go into the encounter off the back of a disappointing o-o draw in the Scottish Premiership, a result, that should they equal against Zenit, will be enough to see them through.
