On Saturday, Celtic are back in FA Trophy action when we travel away, back to Avro. Avro are currently level on points with Celtic, though Celtic have a better goal difference. Kick-off is 3pm. There will be a live match centre for this game.

Avro have had the exact same start to Celtic, with four wins, two draws and a loss apiece. Where they differ is Celtic have never drawn away from home, and Avro have never drawn at home. Celtic’s only league loss was away at Avro, whilst Avro’s only league loss was at home to City of Liverpool. Most recently, Avro drew 2-2 away at Clitheroe, whilst their last home match was the 3-2 win over us. Their loss against Liverpool was the only time they’ve not scored this season, and they have kept three clean sheets. Avro score an average of 1.3 goals per game at home from 1.4 overall, whilst conceding a goal per game.

The last meeting between the two teams saw Celtic throw the game away in a mad ten minute spell after Grant Shenton’s red card gave Celtic the chance to cruise to victory. It taught the team to take nothing for granted and never try and cruise again. Something that became apparent in the Witton game.

Avro sailed past Winterton Rangers in their previous round of the cup, beating them 2-1, again coming back from being a goal down.
