  1. Bodo/Glimt on the up and uppublished at 17:20 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2022

    Bodo/Glimt v Celtic (3-1, 17:45)

    This is Bodo/Glimt's 40th European tie. Celtic have played more than 400.

    As recently as 2017, they were in the second tier of Norwegian football but they have come back strongly under manager Kjetil Knutsen, finishing as runners-up in the top flight in 2019, winning their first ever championship in 2020 and defending the title last year.

  2. Celtic swap Glasgow snow for the real dealpublished at 17:17 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2022

    Bodo/Glimt v Celtic (3-1, 17:45)

    Celtic are up first, inside the Arctic Circle, where the weather isn't too dissimilar to Glasgow today. Well, it's actually proper snow rather than the wet, slushy stuff we've got.

    The town of Bodo has a population of just over 40,000, which could easily fit inside Celtic Park, with plenty of room to spare.

    The stadium holds around 7,300 and, yes, a few away fans have made the trip.

  3. Not a priority for Postecoglou?published at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2022

    Do those team changes suggest Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is giving up on this tie to focus on the domestic front?

    The big prize for winning the inaugural Conference League is a place in the group stage of next season's Europa League.

    At the moment, the winners of the Scottish Premiership are in a play-off for a Champions League group spot.

  4. Change of goalie for hostspublished at 17:09 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2022

    Bodo/Glimt v Celtic (3-1, 17:45)

    In last week's 3-1 success, Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Khaykin made a few good stops but what caught the eye was how good he was with the ball at his feet. The Russian was confidently stroking passes around inside his own penalty box all night.

    He's suspended for this game after a late booking for time wasting, so Celtic will be hoping understudy Joshua Smits is not so accomplished.

    The 10 outfield players starting are the same ones who did so well in Glasgow.

    Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has freshened things up, with some big players dropping out following Sunday's 3-2 win over Dundee.

    Captain Callum McGregor is one of five players moving to the bench as Nir Bitton comes in.

    Cameron Carter-Vickers and Josip Juranovic are replaced by Stephen Welsh and Liam Scales in defence.

    The final two changes see Tom Rogic and James Forrest take over from Reo Hatate and Jota.

    Rangers are in the driving seat against Dortmund, while Celtic have it all to do in Norway to continue their European exploits.

    Not many would have predicted comfortable wins for the Ibrox side and Bodo/Glimt last week but both have two-goal cushions to defend at home this evening.
