What time and TV channel is AZ Alkmaar v Celtic on in the Europa League?

Celtic travel to the Netherlands for the second leg of their Europa League play-off with AZ Alkmaar this week.

The Hoops take a 2-0 lead to Holland, but they were lucky not to concede at Celtic Park last week and Ange Postecoglou will know that the tie is far from over.

Celtic have been boosted by the signing of Croatian right-back Josip Juranovic in recent days, but he is ineligible to play against Alkmaar.

Postecoglou's side thrashed St Mirren 6-0 in the league over the weekend and there could be plenty more goals in this clash.

Here's what you to know:

Where and when is it?

The match takes place at the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar.

What time is kick-off?

The action gets under way at 7.15pm Irish time.

What channel is it on?

Premier Sports 1 will show the action live, with their build-up starting at 6.45pm.

Quotes corner

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou: “If we go there and try to defend for 90 minutes, I just think you are asking for trouble.

“They are a good team and we know at home they are going to be playing fairly high tempo and high intensity football to score a goal.

“If we sit back we are just going to invite pressure on ourselves.

“Our best football has been going the other way, going forward, and if we score goals, it puts more pressure on the opposition.

“We won’t change our approach, it is the best strategy for us.”
