He will supported by fellow countrymen Morten Jensen and Anders Olav Dale, who will run the lines.

Italian Marco Di Bello is on VAR, assisted by German Benjamin Brand. Kristoffer Hagenes is the fourth official.

Under the stewardship of new boss Giorgio Contini, Young Boys will be eager to bounce back from a disappointing goalless draw with bottom-of-the-table Swiss side Winterthur on Saturday.

The Scottish Premiership champions, however, know they will have no better opportunity to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League as they come up against a team who are struggling both domestically and in Europe.

Kick-off on Wednesday is at 8pm, with the action live on TNT Sports 3.
