The hours are ticking down until Celtic’s Champions League tie against Atalanta.
One fan had the opportunity to pose for a picture with some of Celtic’s key figures. Chief financial officer Chris McKay, Celtic legends Tom Boyd and Roy Aitken, and new head of recruitment Paul Tisdale all gathered ahead of the match in Bergamo.

Brendan Rodgers has already made it clear that Celtic won’t be backing down from their attacking philosophy despite the 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund a few weeks ago. The Hoops head into matchday three having won their opener against Slovan Bratislava before that heavy loss in Germany.
Wednesday’s encounter with Atalanta is shaping up to be a vital fixture in Celtic’s European campaign, with the team looking for a positive result to stay in contention.
The match also marks five years since Celtic last tasted success in Italy, when Neil Lennon’s side famously defeated Lazio 2-1 in Rome. On that memorable night, James Forrest opened the scoring, and Olivier Ntcham secured the victory with a late winner, a result that still resonates with Celtic fans.
As Celtic looks to channel that same spirit against Atalanta, the stage is set for another thrilling European night. No one would complain if the current group could replicate that performance!
