Bears being bussed into Eindhoven for tonight’s match were greeted by a wall of PSV fans chanting ‘We Love You Celtic’.
The winners of tonight’s match can expect to pick up around £40m from six Champions League matches with around £12m as a consolation prize for dropping into the Europa League.
After drawing 2-2 at Ibrox last week PSV are favourites to go through but have to be wary of the incredible luck that their opponents carry in European matches.
Fortunately that seems confined to the Europa League, in five Champions League qualifiers they have won once, against rookies Union SG, lost three and drew last week.

Van Bronckhorst has very limited options for tonight’s match with Antonio Colak the only striker available with utility man James Sands playing in central defence with summer signings Ben Davies and John Souttar both crocked.
Alfredo Morelos has 10 more pay days left on his contract but won’t be involved tonight.

F**k BOOM! bang goes my analysis. You can’t take anything away from those James Hunts they got that result which had that been us in their position we would be gloating on that and calling it what a result.
They are in that draw we need to accept it.
