Linfield fans are counting down the hours to tonight's massive Champions League showdown with Rosenborg .
David Healy's Blues face a stern test of their credentials against the Norwegian visitors at Windsor Park (7.45pm kick-off).
In nine European outings dating back to a 2-1 aggregate win over Linfield in the European Cup in 1986, Rosenborg have yet to lose a two-legged tie to Irish opposition.
Indeed, the South Belfast club are big 13/2 underdogs to win tonight, with Rosenborg the short-priced 2/5 favourites.
Linfield have been boosted by the signing of French midfielder Bastien Hery ahead of tonight's tie.
The former Paris St-Germain youth academy player has signed a two-year deal from League of Ireland club Waterford.
Blues fans are hoping to get an early glimpse of Bastien this evening, and they could be in for a treat.
That's because the club has confirmed that Bastien's clearance has come through in time and he is available for selection.
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old said on Twitter: "Excited to be kicking off a two year contract here in Belfast with Linfield. As a French man, blue has been my lucky colour since I first started playing professionally so I’m delighted to be joining Linfield."
