Italiano: We may face an edgy opponent at Celtic

Beşiktaş head coach Italiano, speaking at a press conference at Celtic Park, reminded reporters that the opponent have not yet taken a point in Europe. Italiano said Celtic could be an edgy side and that the home factor would make the match harder.

Italiano said he may make changes to the squad. Announcing that Orkun Kökçü, who has been away from the team for some time with an injury, will be on the bench tomorrow, Italiano stressed that they had also earned positive results in periods without Miretti and Orkun. Describing Trossard as a recognized, proven and intelligent player who reads the game well, Italiano added that Trossard can play in central midfield and on the wing.

Former Celtic player Hyeon-gyu Oh said he has been looking forward to this match for two months. Explaining that he feels among family here, Oh said that if he scores, he would be happy and might get emotional.

Celtic head coach Martin O'Neill said he hopes some of his players will be ready for tomorrow. Admitting that they have not taken a point from their three matches, O'Neill said they are now in their fourth match and want to advance to the next round. He added that they can win matches when they field their best XI. He said he is trying to instill confidence in his players.
