Red Star Belgrade v Celtic: Is Europa League clash on TV, what time is kick-off and who is the referee?

Red Star Belgrade head coach Vladan Milojevic has criticised opponents Celtic for failing to qualify for the Champions League.

The Scottish giants have travelled to Serbia for tonight’s (September 24) Europa League game against the SuperLiga side.

Brendan Rogers’ side dropped down to the second tier of European football after losing to Kiarat Almaty on penalties - failing to qualify for the Champions League in the process.

Despite showing respect to his upcoming opponents, Milojevic also took the opportunity to twist the knife in, saying that Celtic are a team “made for the Champions League”.

He said: “Celtic certainly have much more quality than they showed against Kairat in those two matches, with respect to the Kairat team. They have a good team and, like every team, they are slowly looking for themselves. Like us, they also have some problems.

“Celtic are a team that were certainly made for the Champions League. They are extremely strong, dominant, and physically very good.

“A lot of foreigners play in the Scottish league. I think it will be an interesting match. Two good teams will clash.”

Is the game on TV?

Red Star Belgrade v Celtic will be broadcast on TNT Sports, which also broadcasts Champions League football.

The game will be shown on TNT Sports 2, with coverage starting from 7pm. Discovery Plus subscribers can also stream the broadcast on their smart TVs, PC and mobile devices.

What time is kick-off
