Livingston do a Kilmarnock, Rusty Reykjavik, no need for Celtic to panic says McGregor
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
THE CELTIC manager reckons that there’s no place like home as he looks forward to the visit of Reykjavik on Tuesday after the last two games were postponed due to the stupid and selfish behaviour of Boli Bolingoli. Premiership postponements against St Mirren and Aberdeen have given Neil Lennon and his players plenty of time to prepare for the beginning of their Champions League campaign.
“Reykjavik is a home tie, which is all you can ask for, really,” Lennon told the Celtic View. “We’re looking forward to that and getting back to Celtic Park.
“It’s one leg so we’re going to have to try and hit our peak and make sure we get the job done. It’ll be difficult, there’s a lot of tension that goes into these games, but it’s important to try and negotiate these ties and get Champions League football.
“There’s no question the fans will be missed. There’s no better place to be than a European game at Celtic Park. It’s been a huge positive for us and it manifested itself last season in the Europa League with the players responding to that.
“We have to adapt and get used to this new norm for however long it’s going to be. We have to be consistent, win the games and find our best form as we go along.”
WHERE AND WHEN
Celtic v KR Reykjavik is on Tuesday evening, 18 August at Celtic Park. The match is being played Behind Closed Doors with a kick-off time of 7.45pm Celtic Park Time.
