On This Day in 2017, Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic faced Linfield at Celtic Park. It was a charged atmosphere given the relationship of the visitors from Belfast with Rangers and their roots. As a result, the songbook was belted out in full force at a near-capacity Paradise as Rodgers’ side looked to book their place in the next round.
Two goals from Scott Sinclair, a low finish from Tom Rogic and then a thunderous effort from Stuart Armstrong concluded the 6-0 aggregate win over the Northern Irish side.
