THE GAME KICKS OFF
The match kicks off, Bodo/Glimt welcomes Celtic to Norway in what will be the last 90 minutes of the Round of 16 second leg.
Here's how Celtic arrive
Celtic have lost four of their six European away games this season, winning the other two. They have conceded 15 goals in those six games, at least two in each, although they have scored 14. Conversely, they have failed to score in nine consecutive European games after Christmas (D1, L8), until a 1-1 draw with FCCopenhagen ended that 16-year sequence two seasons ago. The last time the Glasgow club won away in Europe in the spring was in the second leg of the 2002/03 UEFA Cup semifinals, a 1-0 victory over Boavista.
Here's how Bodo/Glimt are faring
Norwegian champions for the first time in 2020, when they won by 19 points, Bodø/Glimt made their UEFA group stage debut during the autumn, as well as successfully defending their domestic title. This season's European campaign, in what is their 16th game, is the longest in the club's history.
Previous encounters
- Bodø/Glimt's first official meeting with a Scottish club was a memorable one, as the team came out of their winter break to record their second European away win so far this century. New signing Runar Espejord made a dream debut by scoring after just six minutes, and Amahl Pellegrino doubled the visitors' lead ten minutes into the second half. A header from Celtic's new Japanese striker Daizen Maeda, on his European debut, reduced the deficit, but two minutes later Bodø/Glimt made the final score 3-1 with a first European goal from midfielder Hugo Vetlesen - Celtic had previously played 12 times against Norwegian opponents before this tie, ten of those matches against Rosenborg, including six, all unbeaten, in the last five years.
- Celtic's overall record against Norwegian teams is now W7 D2 L4. Away from home it is W3 D1 L2, with clean sheets in their last three matches. The Bhoys have won all three of their two-legged ties against Norwegian teams, in each case with Rosenborg as the defeated opponent.

The Norwegians won without any problem at Celtic Park and took a considerable advantage that makes them think about the next phase, however, Celtic will be looking for a surprise away game and overcome the adverse score.
