Both Aalborg and Celtic have good home records so tonight's home side is confident they will win.

Aalborg have yet to find a manager to replace Bruce Rioch who was in charge when Celtic welcomed Aalborg to Parkhead. Stand-in boss Allan Kuhn has managed to steady their ship with four draws and four wins in their last eight league games. He was rather dismissive of the quality of Scottish football ahead of tonight's game. Kuhn had Celtic watched on Saturday in ther 3-1 win over St Mirren at Love Street but he insists the formality of that win failed to hide some fundamental defensive problems.

He said: "St Mirren were the better team in the first half but Celtic were better in the second half. But it was a Scottish game and Celtic are nearly always the winner there, except when they meet Rangers. They have more national players but I don't think they are a better team than us. Celtic will always get results in Scotland but it will be a difficult match for them against us in the Champions League. We are at home and in the last five years we have lost two European matches here to Getafe and Manchester United. So we are a strong team at home in European competition. It is difficult to talk about weaknesses in a team but one thing I have noticed about Celtic is that they concede goals. It is not every game that they keep a clean sheet. So I'm sure we can score goals against them and that will be important because we have to win the match."
