Celtic beat AZ Alkmaar 2-0 at Parkhead in the first leg of their Europa League play-off last week and now the Bhoys are in action in the Netherlands for the second leg. Whoever wins the tie gets to enter the draw tomorrow for the Europa League group stages. Away goals will not count.

The new Ange Postecoglou era is in a good phase with the Hoops winning their last six games. The rejuvenated looking Celts recorded a 6-0 win against St Mirren at home on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou promised that there would be no conservative approach to today’s game even though Celtic had a 2-0 cushion. That 2-0 lead doesn’t really tell how good AZ Alkmaar were in Glasgow last week, they had plenty of chances which makes tonights game a cagey affair.

And just as we were about to comment on the luxury of a 3-0 aggregate lead AK have pulled a goal back after Joe Hart had a howler. 1-1.
