What the managers are saying
Brendan Rodgers (Celtic): "It was always going to be difficult, whatever the result. But I said to the players, we have nothing to fear. We put in a big performance and didn't quite get the result [in the first leg], but it allows us an opportunity to go out there and get a result."
Marinos Ouzounidis (AEK Athens): “I think qualification depends on us. We have a great opponent facing us, but we have proved we are a very good team too. I am asking for the help of all friends of AEK. We need the passion, support and intensity of our supporters. The 'Welcome to Hell' message is used a lot, but this time I would really like it to be true when we face Celtic.”

AEK made it difficult for Brendan Rodgers' side in the first leg but expect the Bhoys to find a way in Greece.
