"It was probably the first game I looked to when I saw the draw. Obviously it's Celtic, it's nice to play a Scottish team. If we want to get into the top eight we have to win this game. I've spoken to the analysts this week but I've not had to give much detail on their squad. I follow Scottish football and I watch a lot of Celtic. It should be a good game."
"It's been a bit of a frustration as I'm not used to it. For the first time in my career I'm not a regular starter but that's just football, ups and downs. I'm dealing with it and working away to get back into the team and when I'm in there, staying there. This is just another game, it doesn't change much. In the same way we work before. We need the points. We have prepared for the game the same way as we have always done. Celtic is a tough team even if they've had a difficult moment. They've changed coach a few times this season but they're a strong side."
Lewis Ferguson, Bologna captain, is targeting a first win over Celtic when Bologna host the Scottish champions in the Europa League penultimate group match. Ferguson has faced Celtic 16 times, scoring seven goals but suffering 13 defeats across appearances with Hamilton Academical and Aberdeen. Bologna must win to move into the Europa League top eight, and Ferguson closely follows Scottish football ahead of the tie. Ferguson has struggled for regular starts under coach Vincenzo Italiano after helping Scotland qualify for the World Cup and is working to regain and keep a starting place.
