‘It’s something incredible’ Odsonne Edouard told a French TV station when asked to describe the atmosphere at Celtic Park on a European night.
Since Celtic debuted in the Champions League in 2001 the legend of the stadium has continued to grow with stars from Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic through to Paolo Maldini describing it as the best arena that they have ever played in.
In the first decade of this century Barcelona, AC Milan and Manchester United were all beaten at Celtic Park as Martin O’Neill and Gordon Strachan sent out inspired teams.

I really appreciate what the fans do and I hope it continues that way. Their support is very important because it gives us lots of motivation.
In 2012 Tony Watt’s winner against Barcelona became world news with French interest in the club noting the double from Moussa Dembele against Pep Guardiola’s superstars in 2016.
With Odsonne Edouard, Chris Jullien and Olivier Ntcham involved French fans are hearing more and more about Celtic which makes recruitment a little easier.
This season Rennes finished bottom of their Europa League group with Celtic top of the pile with their back-to-back wins over Lazio the clear highlights.
