The stage is set and Celtic are counting down the hours to a colossal clash that could prove a season definer.
No, it’s not the derby against Rangers on Sunday. Before then, Neil Lennon’s side face another huge match – one that will determine whether they’ll still be in European competition until Christmas at least.
The Parkhead club must progress to the Europa League group stage to somewhat soften the blow of crashing out of the Champions League qualifiers for the second season in a row.
Celtic sure gave themselves a fine opportunity of progressing in UEFA’s second-tier tournament with a good performance in the first leg against AIK.
Lennon’s men saw off the Swedes 2-0 at home but simply can’t afford anything else than a professional job in Stockholm.
