Celtic fans are concerned about the return of the bumblebee/dayglo/Dortmund style kit for tonight’s match against Rosenborg.
With the Norwegian’s wearing a mainly white kit Celtic will have to wear their third kit for the first time.
The last time that Celtic wore a similar kit was in the 2009/10 ‘Tony Mowbray’ season with that reign coming to a halt with a 4-0 defeat away to St Mirren.
Bookies will give you long odds on a repeat of that scoreline but there is a degree of concern from some of the more superstitious fans about tonight’s kit choice.

You’ve got a good plan by blind Rosenberg players! ????
I can see your tweet is nice wee cheeky and wind up against our nasty other side. ????

Rosenborg have a bad record against teams in fluorescent kit ????

I like the cheeky tactic. Blinding the opposition so French Eddy can swoop round them like a gazelle and score a first half hat-trick, one being a top bin screamer from outside the box.

Brendan Rodgers is expected to put out a side on similar lines to the team that won the first leg 3-1.
Mikael Lustig has travelled with the squad but is expected to take a place on the bench with Cristian Gamboa continuing at right-back.
The winners of tonight’s tie will be at home to AEK Athens next week with the loser dropping into the Europa League and a trip to face Cork City.
