He has now returned to England, and it remains to be seen whether another one of his suitors-Olympique de Marseille have been linked to his signature [Daily Mail]-will look to move for the 20-year-old.

Scotland manager Gordan Strachan has been discussing his decision to once again call up Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong to the national team, according to quotes published by BBC Sport. But Gordon Strachan, declining to describe it as a must-win game, warned his side...

“But playing for a club in Sweden, there is never pressure to go to the Champions League because it doesn’t happen often”. “We had to sort of do something we hadn’t done before. Celtic will not go as offensively but we will be more offensive”.

Asked if he believed a repeat could be on the cards, Deila said: “It is like a final”.

Gordon Strachan has indicated Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths will be in his next Scotland squad.

Will Scott Allan be a success at Celtic?

McGeouch, 22, made 26 appearances for Hibs last season while on loan. I think I made my thoughts very clear.

Meanwhile, Jo Inge Berget came back to haunt his old club Celtic, who will take a slender advantage to Malmo after a thrilling first leg between the two sides in Glasgow. After Griffiths opened the scoring on five minutes, Nir Bitton added a second just a few minutes later.

Scott Allan insists he will brush off the flak generated by his move to Celtic and grasp the opportunity of success at Parkhead.

Feghouli has been in talks about a move to Fenerbahce recently, but he was the hero at the Mestalla on Wednesday night, initially for setting up Rodrigo for Valencia’s first in the fourth minute.

“But we have to see out the two legs, and they have to beat us in Malmo to get through”.

The Scotland wide-man, speaking at the Hoops’ Lennoxtown training ground ahead of today’s match against Inverness, said: “I don’t think it has anything to do with that”.

Their first half performance against Partick was particularly impressive and manager Ronny Deila has challenged his side to repeat that in midweek.

Kris Commons lobbed in a second on 63 minutes to seal the victory for Celtic, who are gearing up for their UEFA Champions League play-off encounter with Malmo next week.
