Celtic's Europa League opponents FC Midtjylland have bizarrely sacked manager Thomas Thomasberg despite a 17-game unbeaten run...but ordered him to still take charge for their crunch game with Brondby tomorrow.
And they have replaced him with former Hearts loan star Mike Tullberg.
The Hoops will travel to Denmark for one of their Europa League games and were drawn against FC Midtjylland - who eliminated Hibs this season after a last minute extra time goal.

They sit second in the league, which they won last year and are on a long unbeaten run, but the club axed him before telling him he would still be manager for their game against Brondby, before leaving.
He's been replaced by Tullberg, who was at Tynecastle in 2008 and was Borussia Dortmund Under 23s boss.
FC Midtjylland chairman Claus Steinlein explained: "Thomas created stability in a difficult time and has since helped lead FC Midtjylland back to the top of Danish football - he won us the title.
"But it is not about the results, but about the fact that our standing has not developed in the desired direction over a long period of time.
"Therefore, after mature consideration, we have decided it is the right time to change the head coach - it is more of an addition of something new than a de-selection of Thomas."
