We have history with the Danes, having faced them in Ange Postecoglou’s early weeks in charge in 2021.  A 1-1 draw in the first leg at Celtic Park was not enough to prevent elimination from Champions League qualification after a 2-1 defeat in Denmark.  Ange has more recent history with them, one of the results which contributed to his dismissal at Nottingham Forest was a 2-3 home defeat against Midtjylland last month.  When Danish sides win away in England we should take note.

While Celtic had an exhausting 120 minutes on Sunday, Midtjylland hosted Danish league leaders AGF on Monday.  The extra day’s rest will be welcomed.  Monday’s game ended 1-1, leaving Midtjylland trailing by 2 points.  That stopped an impressive run of wins: 5-1 against Vejle, 0-3 against Macabi Tel-Aviv, 0-4 at Fredericia and 4-0 over Silkeborg.
