Are Celtic undercooked for LASK play-off?

Former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan believes the "minimum" for the club should be qualifying for the Champions League every year. But have they done enough in the transfer market to make it past play-off opponents LASK? The signing deadline for this tie came and went on Tuesday night with no further additions, leaving the number of new recruits at four before tonight's first leg at Celtic Park. "This is going to be a really tough task, LASK are a formidable proposition," says Stephen McGowan, football writer for The Herald. "Celtic have made decent efforts to try to strengthen the squad in the past week or two. The question you've got in your mind is have they done enough? "Because I think ideally they would like to have signed a goalkeeper. They'd like to have a back-up left-back. Nothing they can do about Alistair Johnson's injury, but you're just worrying, with Arne Engels having gone, are they a wee bit undercooked? "If you're a Celtic supporter tonight, there will be a bit of trepidation because the club's record in these play-offs is not good recently." Celtic have failed in their past five Champions League qualifying attempts - last making it via this route with victory over Astana in 2017 - and Sheridan says the pressure on Martin O'Neill's side is sizeable. "Celtic would have been doing some some job to be less prepared than than they went into the [Kairat Almaty] game last season," he said. "I don't think the bar was too high in that regards but they've definitely had a a much better start to the season, a few big signings. "But if Celtic fail to qualify, straight away it's all going to be the recruitment issues raised again. Engels' replacement, why wasn't that done before he's been sold? "So much rides on this play-off tie, there's huge pressure on it for everyone at Celtic. "Celtic should expect to be Champions League every season. I definitely think the minimum should be qualifying for it every year. "But it's one thing thinking that you should be there and then actually being there every year, which I think has been the issue for for a lot of Celtic fans."
