Well, we’re all well on the Martin O’Neill nostalgia bandwagon at the moment.
And tonight, the legendary Celtic manager returns to the competition that was the scene of the club’s last European final appearance.
It might be called the Europa League now, but the same trophy that was on offer back in 2003 is on offer for the winners of the tournament in it’s current format.
While not many expect us to win against Midtjylland this evening, O’Neill might have other ideas.
He may just feel that he has unfinished business in this competition.
Wishful thinking, I know, but a man can dream.
While showings in recent campaigns have done little to inspire, O’Neill might just light the touch fuse in this one, using the run to the UEFA Cup final in 2003 as inspiration.
I’m going to keep the nostalgia going with this quiz on that famous run to the final in 2003.
So, how much do you remember about the memorable journey throughout the competition, as well as the game itself?
See how many you can get right!
Who other than Larsson scored for Celtic in the final?!?!?
I was going to ask the same as Andy we lost 3-2 aet and Henrik scored both goals yet you’ve claimed we had two scorers in the final in question 4 when that’s not correct Eric, you’ve dropped the ball there my friend.
He’s maybe updated it but the question was how many scorers did we have in the final & the correct answer was one.
