Stuart Armstrong: Champions League would be a dream

Only two games stand in the way of Celtic and the group stages of the Champions League.

It would be the first-time the midfielder has reached the group stage, in what is his first full season at Celtic having arrived from Dundee United in January along with Gary Mackay-Steven.

The 23-year-old signed for Celtic and made two appearances against Inter Milan in the last-32 of the Europa League, scoring his first goal for the Hoops on his competitive debut at Celtic Park in that same game.

At the weekend he put in a stellar performance scoring two goals in the second-half as Celtic romped to a 4-2 win. Despite the two defensive lapses late on, it was a big boost ahead of Malmo’s visit on Wednesday night.

Speaking to BBCScotland about the possibility of reaching the group stages of the Champions League, Stuart Armstrong said it would be “a dream come true.”

Everyone wants to play in the group stages and play against the best.

You can only think of the excitement of being drawn against these huge, massive teams that you’ve watched when you’ve been growing up, so we’ll keep that in the back of our minds for now and just focus on our preparations and getting through the tie.
