Midtjylland boss Bo Henriksen appears very confident of getting the result tonight against Celtic.

The manager who somehow escaped Celtic Park with a draw last week says he’s been watching the bhoys throughout their pre-season and he believes he has them sussed.

For the Danish boss, he revealed all Celtic can do is attack them and will not have any other game plan in place to try and win the game.

He’s preparing his side for an onslaught but has also made it clear all is not well in the Celtic backline and he plans to exploit it.

Speaking to RecordSport, the manager said:

“I don’t think Celtic can do anything other than attack us.

“We’ve seen all their games, even the friendlies, and that’s what they do. We’ve prepared for that.

“But we have also seen that they have had defensive problems as well, so I am convinced that we will score and, hopefully, that will be enough to secure the victory.

“Celtic have some issues. They have only played the one competitive game so far, but it’s clear that they have some problems and we need to try and use that.

“When you let in six goals [against West Ham] then everyone can see that there are things which can be a little better.

“Obviously, we have seen all their games and we will do everything we can to find their weak spots.”

The West Ham game has clearly given Bo confidence ahead of the second leg. It wasn’t just our young defence all over the place but our goalkeeper who couldn’t take up the correct positions.

The home side will apply pressure to the likes of Stephen Welsh, Anthony Ralston and Dane Murray in the hope they will buckle.

It’s up to Celtic to show they can get the job done and surprise Midtjylland on the night.

It’s not as cut and dry as the manager makes it out to be, but if we don’t apply ourselves then it could be a long night.
