Adi Hütter: "At the moment there is something inside us that seems to be making it difficult to register victories. That anxiety can bring three defeats in a row, but I’m sure we will rectify it. I am convinced that things will soon look up and we must prepare for an important fixture with Celtic on Thursday."

Ronny Deila: “I am very aware of Celtic’s UEFA Cup run in 2003. That would be a dream if we could to that this season. Of course it is going to be hard, but everything is possible. The UEFA Cup was good for Celtic then and it could be good for us again because it helps players gain more European experience. It was the same for Atletico Madrid when they won the Europa League recently and are now a strong Champions League team."
