Stuttgart are as high as fourth in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 43 points from 23 matches. Die Roten are also virtually guaranteed to progress to the next stage of the UEFA Europa League, given their resounding win in the first leg.

A poor clearance from Schmeichel led to Celtic falling behind in the 15th minute, though Stuttgart still had plenty to do after seizing possession, with Deniz Undav's glorious backheel volley picking out Bilal El Khannouss, who drilled home left-footed. Celtic equalised six minutes later thanks to a mistake at the other end, as Atakan Karazor attempted a blind pass while facing his own goal, which deflected kindly for Benjamin Nygren to round Alexander Nubel to tap in.

When Martin O'Neill replaced Brendan Rodgers in October, the Celtic ship was listing. When he returned for a second interim spell after Wilfried Nancy's tumultuous and brief reign, the ship was taking on water at an alarming rate. Celtic have needed a safe pair of hands and a figurehead to unite a fanbase in revolt twice this season. On both occasions they have turned to O'Neill to save them.

Starting with the hosts, while Bologna might have entered November's international break in the midst of a real purple patch, Vincenzo Italiano's men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability over the past couple of months. Tumbling down the Serie A standings and desperately searching for a much-welcomed boost, the Greyhounds have recorded just a single win from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes.

So we've been supporting him and we'll be going along with that. Again though, like a lot of things, we'll obviously see as things progress through January where everyone is and make sure everyone is on the same page. But, certainly at this moment in time, Kyogo is an important player in the squad and will continue to be so.

You have two stories. We can turn things in one half to come back 3-1 and win this game. And the second story, we have a centre-forward with Youssef who scores fantastic goals. This is a demanding league. My players did really well today. It is a statement. It's a massive three points, but now it's about continuing our way and there's also a good feeling to have three wins in a row now.
