Callum McGregor constantly gets battered over the head about Celtic’s struggles on the road in the Champions League. But the Hoops skipper reckons his side can take some inspiration from arguably his favourite European jaunt of all time – the night Celts conquered Rome.

It might not have been in the top tier competition but Neil Lennon’s men taking down Lazio in the Olympic Stadium in the Europa League in 2019 still rates as one of the club’s best performances on the continent in recent times.

Okay, the Parkhead men don’t exactly have a huge list to pick from. But memories of that famous evening in the Italian capital might come in handy as Celts get set to take on formidable opposition on Italian soil once again.

McGregor said: “It was a positive result. It was an amazing night and you still remember the scenes after the game. It was right up there.
