Celtic have "everything to win" as they look to overturn a 4-1 deficit in their Champions League qualifier against Legia Warsaw, says boss Ronny Deila.
The hosts will be without Scott Brown (hamstring), James Forrest (groin) and Efe Ambrose (suspended) for the second leg of the third qualifying round tie.
"I haven't given up," said Deila, who succeeded Neil Lennon as Celtic manager in June. "It's possible.
"If we turn this around, it will be a massive night."
Defeat in Deila's third competitive match in charge left his side on the brink of exiting the competition.
But the Norwegian believes it is "important not to change too much".
Efe Ambrose was sent off for Celtic in the first half of the first leg
He said: "People have to feel safe and know what to do, but of course the performance has to be much better.
"It's important to be patient. It starts with good defending. When I look back to the last game it is two things that we need to improve - defending and not losing the ball in dangerous areas."
Last year, Celtic needed to overturn a two-goal deficit against Shakhter Karagandy to reach the group stage - and won 3-0 at Parkhead.
Deila said: "This team has done it many times, scoring three and more. You have to use your experience to turn it around and bounce back."
Despite their three-goal advantage, Legia boss Henning Berg knows his side face a "tough game" at Murrayfield.
Berg, who played for Rangers during the 2003-04 season, said: "We have to perform very well if we want to go through.
"We can't control what Celtic will do. We expect Celtic to want to score goals to get back into the tie and we will have to make sure we play a good game.
"If we have ambitions to get into the Champions League, these games are the ones you want to do well in."
