Celtic have one of the most interesting games of their season coming up, as they will take on Norwegian champions, Bodo/Glimt, in the UEFA Europa Conference League. It is safe to say that this could be a tight contest over the two legs unless something unexpected happens, with both sides having impressed in Europe this season till now.

Celtic were placed in a very tough Europa League group with the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, currently third in Bundesliga, Real Betis, currently third in La Liga and Ferencvaros, top of the Hungarian league.

Thus, it is safe to say that the Hoops did not have an easy task on their hands yet they managed to get nine points out of a possible eighteen in the group stage and were very unlucky not to make it to the next round of the competition. Instead, they ended up in the inaugural season of the UEFA Europa Conference League, where they will now take on Bodo/Glimt.

Bodo/Glimt have been impressive themselves. They hold a 6-1 win over Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma this season. And they got a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture away in Italy as well. Thus, it goes without saying that they could pose a lot of problems for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

There is no question about who will be starting in goal for Celtic against Bodo/Glimt. Hart has proven to be an inspired signing on the part of the club, who brought him in from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer.

Hart has produced some big performances in Europe this season till now and Celtic will be hoping for another one this time around.
