Head-to-head

The pair met in the third qualifying round of the same competition last year. Rosenborg came away with a 0-0 draw from Celtic Park.

But a James Forrest second-half strike downed the Norwegians and sent the Hoops to the group-stages.

Before then the old foes met in the Champions League proper in 2001. Alan Thompson notched a free-kick in a 1-0 victory in Glasgow.

Rosenborg got their revenge, winning 2-0 at home with former Celtic man Harald Brattbakk scoring both goals.

Likely XIs

Odsonne Edouard will surely lead the line for Celtic after his brace in the first leg. The former Paris Saint-Germain forward took his chance after Moussa Dembele got injured in the previous round.

They will be without defender Jozo Simunovic after his suspension was extended to two games by UEFA. This means Kristoffer Ajer will again be partnered by Jack Hendry at the heart of the defence.

Niklas Bendtner looks likely to lead the line again for Troillongan. The former Arsenal man could be joined by Paal Andre Helland up top.
