Chris Sutton, Stan Petrov and John Hartson will lead BT Sport’s coverage of Celtic’s Europa League tie against Ferencvaros tonight.
Back in the day the two strikers plus Stan The Man were a vital part of Martin O’Neill’s armoury but tonight they’ll be sharing their thoughts on Ange Postecoglou as he looks for a repeat of the home win against the Hungarians a fortnight ago.
BT Sport have had their issues with Europa League coverage this season but with Sutton and Petrov in the studio and the Welshman on the ground as part of the commentary team there shouldn’t be any security issues like on Matchday One.
Looking forward to covering the Celtic Ferencvaros game in the big tie of the night with the brilliant @StanPetrov19 live on BT Sport 8pm kick off?

A win tonight will guarantee Celtic third place in Group G and at least a place in the Europa Conference in the new year.
At the same time Bayer Leverkusen will be taking on Real Betis, with both sides on seven points Celtic will probably have to win all three of their remaining matches to advance in the Europa League.
The last time i saw Petrov he was running up the tunnel in a huff at Celtic Park after Celtic won the league title.
Petrov moved to Aston Villa shortly afterwards.
