Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Celtic v Sion from Switzerland. Celtic chasing a win or a scoring draw away from home to reach the Europa League group stages.

Sion now back on the ball and looking to make their extra man advantage. Brown forced to head behind for a corner to the home side.

Ledley picks up the ball in the middle before feeding Samaras. Celtic launch an aimless ball forward. Very poor and not very assured. Celtic lacking a bit of confidence out there.

Samaras to Brown, but his pass is too strong for Cha. The ball goes out of the park and Sion have the ball at the back.

Brown caught late by Sio and he is complaining about his treatment there. Celtic trying to gather themselves.

A change coming already for Sion as Afonso is replaced by Prijovic. He is still feeling the effects of the Majstorovic challenge.

Brown seemed to be felled seconds before the Majstorovic incident, but the referee waved played on and Celtic lost concentration. Could not have made a worse start to a match.

GOAL!! Feindouno slams home the penalty to the left of Forster. Sion lead 1-0. Great penalty and Celtic are all over the place after 42 seconds of this match. A disastrous start to the evening for them.

SION HAVE A PENALTY! Majstorovic takes down Afonso as the last man and the home side have been awared a penalty. The big Swedish defender has been sent off and Celtic are down to 10 men.

Sion get the game off and running. Huge night for Celtic.

Celtic going with a 4-4-2 as Samaras plays up front alongside Hooper for the Glasgow side. A lot of fans will be raising an eyebrow or two at that one with Stokes on the bench. Celtic with one win in 29 games away from home in Europe. They need to get their act together away this evening. Celtic in yellow shirts, Sion in white.

Odds for this evening: FC Sion 13/8, Celtic 8/5, Draw 23/10. Celtic would dearly love to get the job done this evening after losing to Sporting Braga and FC Utrecht, respectively, to tumble out of the Champions League qualifiers and Europa League qualifiers a year ago.

Sion coach Laurent Roussey feels that the match is in the balace. He said: "We think we have a 50 per cent chance of winning, the same as Celtic. What we are going to do is to be ready tomorrow at 8.30pm and concentrate to achieve our goal. We know what qualification could mean for our country, our club and our president so we will do everything we can to be ready for the match. Getting to the group stages of the Europa League is our first goal of the season and it is important to us."

"The pressure is no different from any other game, every game is a huge game," says Celtic manager Neil Lennon. "It is a very important game for me personally. I would dearly love to take the club into the group stages. It is going to be very difficult. Sion are a good team, which they proved last week. And in the context of the season it is a big game, because it would open doors revenue-wise and it would keep our interest in Europe going at least until December."

A few facts to get you in the mood for this one: Celtic have played 17 games against Swiss opposition in Europe, winning nine of them. But Celtic are winless in six trips to Switzerland in European competition, not picking up a victory since a 3-0 win in Zurich in 1966/67.

It was a bleak set of results in Europe for Scottish clubs last week with Rangers losing 2-1 to Maribor in Slovenia, Celtic being held to a 0-0 draw by Sion and Hearts losing 5-0 to Spurs. Sports journalist Desmond Kane does not think it is all bad for Scottish football as he looks ahead to this evening's games in the Europa League. Read his latest blog below...

Celtic are boosted by the return of Gary Hooper, Beram Kayal and Kelvin Wilson from injury with Cha Du Ri and Georgios Samaras also starting for the former European Cup winners.
