Barcelona will be without Lionel Messi as they seek to avoid another upset against Celtic in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Last November, Neil Lennon's men sprung a huge shock at Celtic Park when goals from Victor Wanyama and rookie striker Tony Watt secured a famous 2-1 triumph over the four-time European champions. Messi's absence is a major blow for the Catalan giants, with Messi having helped himself to a hat-trick as Barca brushed Ajax aside 4-0 in the Group H opener a fortnight ago to move ahead of Mario Gomez and Filippo Inzaghi by becoming the first player to score four trebles in the competition. Meanwhile, Celtic warmed up for the clash in the best possible manner on Saturday when they bounced back from a shock defeat to Morton in the Scottish League Cup with victory at Kilmarnock. The Scottish Premiership champions survived a fightback from their hosts before prevailing 5-2 as Georgios Samaras fired in a hat-trick. Barcelona will once again be without left-back Jordi Alba due to a hamstring problem, while fellow defender Carles Puyol and playmaker Isaac Cuenca are recovering from knee surgery. Celtic are missing close-season arrival Steven Mouyokolo, who ruptured his Achilles in training before the Milan clash. http://www.soccerway.com/news/2013/September/29/uefa-champions-league-preview-celtic-v-barcelona/ |

Celtic v Barcelona: UEFA League Preview Cesc Fabregas believes Barcelona's players will be put to the test by the absence of Lionel Messi from their ranks in Tuesday night's Champions League clash with Celtic at Parkhead. The 26-year-old Argentina forward injured his thigh in the 2-0 win over Almeria on Saturday, ruling him out of the Group H clash in Glasgow. At Barca's pre-match press conference at Celtic Park, most of the focus was on how the visitors will cope without their talismanic superstar, and Fabregas acknowledged the rest of the forward players will have to step up their efforts if the loss of Messi is not to prove significant. The former Arsenal midfielder said: ``It is a test because we always want him in our team. ``Obviously Lionel is the best player in the world, I don't even have to say that and you obviously will miss a player of his talent and dedication. ``We rely on him a lot. He is the best player, the one that scores more goals, the one that does the offensives tasks. He is always there for us, he gives assists, he is the best. ``He can win a game at any moment so we are sad for that but you cannot feel sorry for yourselves because you are missing a great player. ``Without Messi we will have to take more responsibility. ``I think we all have to step up and make sure that we don't feel his absence, and show we can play great football without him. ``When he is not there we have to adapt the situation and players like Neymar, myself if I play, Alexis Sanchez, Cristian Tello, Pedro Rodriguez; we have to step up and do the job that a striker is made for which is scoring goals and giving assists. ``I think tomorrow is a test in that way.'' Fabregas believes 21-year-old Brazilian star Neymar could be the one Barcelona player capable of one day reaching the levels of Messi. ``He is a very talented player, very quick and has the skills to get away from you easily,'' the Spain international said. ``He is already a star but this boy will have a lot to say in the future of football. ``It is up to him. Everything is in his hands. ``He came here to learn, to compete, to fight, to grow up as a player and a person. ``He is still a boy and in the future we will be talking about him as one of the greatest.'' Home boss Neil Lennon believes the absence of Messi is a boost for Celtic, but insists it is also ``tinged with sadness''.
