City, in seventh, are out to secure a top-eight finish by building on their seven-point lead on Kaizer Chiefs.
Out to snap a two-match losing run, the former reserves boss says: “The preparations for the game has been good. The players are desperate to get back to winning ways after two results have not been good for us.
“Celtic are a difficult team to play at home, they have some quality players that can hurt us.
“We know it won’t be an easy one.”
