Celtic host Norwegian champions Bodø/Glimt this evening in the Europa Conference League as the knockout phase of the inaugural competition begins with the play-off round.
Bodø/Glimt produced a memorable upset to beat Jose Mourinho’s Roma 6-1 in October and reached the play-off round after finishing runners-up to the Italian side.
They have not played since securing a second consecutive Norwegian title in December, however, and face a Celtic side who are in form under manager Ange Postecoglou.
Celtic have won 13 or their last 14 matches in all competitions since dropping down into the Europa Conference League, after the Scottish side finished in third place in their Europa League group behind Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match tonight.

Team news
Celtic remain without attacker Kyogo Furuhashi and midfielder David Turnbull, while defender Josip Juranovic is a doubt after missing the past two games due to illness.
Bodø/Glimt have been out of action since their domestic season finished in December, which means manager Kjetil Knutsen should have a fully-fit squad to choose from.
