CELTIC face Feyenoord in the Europa League at the De Kuip this evening in their fifth outing in the competition this season.
The Hoops have won only once – the 2-1 victory over Sturm Graz at Parkhead last month – and have lost twice, to Sporting Braga 2-0 in Glasgow and 3-1 to FC Midtjylland in Denmark, while there has been a 1-1 draw with Red Star in Belgrade.
Now Martin O’Neill, in his sixth game in interim charge, leads the team against old Dutch foes tonight.
