Familiar foes return to Celtic Park

Oh Hyeon-gyu will isn't the only familiar face Celtic will come up against when they host Besiktas tonight.

The Europa League tie also marks a return to Glasgow for former Rangers players Ridvan Yilmaz and Vaclav Cerny.

While ex-Celtic striker Oh is set for a warm welcome from the Parkhead crowd, Yilmaz and Cerny can expect anything but.

Cerny in particular could well face the ire of the home support, as the last time the Czech Republic winger played at Celtic Park he squirted water at Celtic fans while celebrating Hamza Igamane's late winner in a 3-2 Rangers victory in March 2025.

Besiktas' squad is littered with quality. Former Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and Leandro Trossard, a Premier League winner with Arsenal last season, are both key players for the Black Eagles.

Besiktas will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record in the Europa League. They currently sit eighth in the table following a convincing 4-1 win at home to Marseille, 3-2 away victory over Hoffenheim and a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace in Instanbul.

Vincenzo Italiano's side are fourth in the Turkish Super Lig, six points off leaders Galatasaray. The Turkish giants squandered a two-goal lead on Monday night to draw 2-2 against Kasimpasa.
