Martin O’Neill delivered an impressive away result against Feyenoord in his last European game in charge back in November, with the Hoops winning 3-1 in Rotterdam. And the Irishman would clearly love to replicate that on Thursday night when his Celtic side take on Bologna in the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium on matchday seven of the league phase of the UEFA Europa League. Speaking to the media tonight, the Celtic manager said: “This is a difficult game for us, first of all away from home and, secondly, against a very fine side who are looking for a place in the top eight, so it will be a difficult task. “We’ve left ourselves an uphill task in terms of results, so it’s up to us, but we still have a chance. “Their European results have still been pretty good, and that’s the competition we’re in, so from our viewpoint we’re in a decent frame of mind and we want to give it a go, and that’s exactly what we’ll do.”Sebastian Tounekti delivered a superb goal at the weekend – his third in Celtic’s colours – and he’s hoping to build on that, starting tomorrow night when the Hoops take on Bologna in the UEFA Europa League. The Tunisian winger, back in the fold after representing his country in the Africa Cup of Nations, is looking forward to the game in Italy, with the Hoops looking for another positive result. Speaking ahead of the game, the 23-year-old winger said: “Every game when you play for Celtic is special, and also when you play in Europe it’s even more special. “So for me to have the chance to hopefully play tomorrow, I’m really looking forward to that. “There’s been some ups and downs and now I feel that we’re on the right path. I feel that the group is together and we just want to win games and hopefully we can do that tomorrow. “When you play for Celtic you have to win every game so, of course, it’s been difficult when we have lost, but I feel that, as a group, we’re really strong. “We just have to stay together and I feel that we’re on the right path now, and for us now it’s just to keep going because we have so many important games coming up now, so I’m looking forward to that.“Upcoming FixturesBologna FC 1909 Vs.
