KR Reykjavik Rúnar Kristinsson says beating Celtic would be on a par with Iceland's famous 2-1 win over England at Euro 2016.
Celtic welcome the Icelandic champions to Celtic Park tonight in the first qualifying round of the Champions League.
Kristinsson wants his side to emulate the national side's shock victory, while Celtic boss Neil Lennon insists his side are showing respect to Reykjavik.
Here's what Lennon and Kristinsson have been saying ahead of tonight's match.
Neil Lennon
"Our preparation has been good even though we missed out on a couple of games, which would have helped.
“It’s been disruptive but you’ve got to make the best out of it. We’ve had a good week of training so we’re looking forward to a good amount of games now to get our teeth into.
“We’ve had a long time back now training. We’ve only had two competitive games so I think this game is really important for a number of reasons.
“Reykjavik haven’t played many games recently either. The game is all about us, we’re at home and it’s one leg. We’ve given plenty of respect to Reykjavik but I’m expecting a strong performance from ourselves tomorrow.
"I’d much prefer the two legs but we know what we have to do and we know what lies ahead of us if we negotiate Reykjavik.”
Rúnar Kristinsson
“I think it would be similar (to Iceland beating England), yes.
“These are results that our club and also the Iceland international team have got every now and then.
“It is not only Iceland beating England once, also taking points from Portugal in the Euros, we have beaten the Dutch, we have beaten Spain – a lot of big teams.

“So there are a lot of games that we can take positives things from and I can tell my players that this is possible, although they know it.
“There is always a chance in football. Football is maybe the only sport in the world that you can sometimes surprise people and do something special.
“It won’t happen at basketball or handball or whatever other sport, if a top division team plays a third division team.
“In other sports, you can guarantee that the first division team will win it but it is not like that in football.
“We know that from history. We have seen that from Iceland, we have seen it with lower league teams going all the way to the semi-finals or finals of the cup competitions.
“We have to take something out of that and believe and hope that we can surprise them a little bit.”
Celtic v KR Reykjavik kicks off at 7.45pm.
