Linen Floor Tile

Ceramic Tile over Linoleum…?
40 Square foot bathroom floor. The linoleum was laid maybe 5 years ago(we bought the home 2 years ago) so it’s laid down pretty well. Inside the linen closet is an area I can begin to tear up the floor. It is laid down pretty well. If I do tear it up, will I need to sand the subfloor (plywood) down to the bare wood and get all the glue residue off? Is it ok to just sand the linoleum with a heavy grit belt sander and just go to town? using a latex additive to my thin-set.
Real wqwuestion is what’s more economical/smart? Sand and go over the linoleum. Or spend the extra time tearing it up and install cement backerboard.
I live in NE Ohio, and am not prone to moisture damage since this is on the second level of my home.
As Jonathan W stated, a cement backer board should be layed down first. You can tear up the tile underneath or lay the new underlayment over it making sure its screwed down well, This substraight will provide a good base for applying new ceramic tile. Two brands of underlayment I recomend would be “Durock” of “Hardi-Backer”.
