MARTIN O’NEILL will roll back the years as he leads his players into his first European tie as Celtic manager in 20 years.
The Irishman, in charge in an interim basis after the shock departure of Brendan Rodgers at the start of last week, will prepare his troops for a Europa League encounter against FC Midtjylland in Denmark in this evening’s 5.45pm kick-off.
It will be the Hoops’ fourth game in the competition after a 1-1 draw with Red Star in Belgrade, a 2-0 loss to Sporting Braga and a 2-1 win over Sturm Graz, both at Parkhead.
