Celtic's next UEFA Champions League opponents, Club Brugge, are celebrating their 133rd birthday today, and the Belgian outfit are clearly looking forward to their trip to Glasgow later this month.
Founded on November 13, 1891 – six days and a few years after Celtic's own birthday – the Belgian side 22nd with six points in the competition's new-look league phase. Celtic, on the other hand, sit in 15th with seven.
Given Celtic's current form coupled with their home advantage, the Parkhead side likely enter matchday five on Wednesday, November 27 as favourites, however the visitors saw off the otherwise flawless Aston Villa 1-0 in their previous fixture.
In a post advertising club travel details to Glasgow, the official Club Brugge X account (formerly Twitter) said: "European awaydays? Always 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞!"
