Its been over 10 years since celtic qualified for the Knockout Stage of the Champions League, but this new format, mightjust give the scottish champions the best chance of reaching the last 16. They start at home against the slovakian champions slovan bratisalva. We come into every Game And Respect every single opponent we play. And a narrative around this game which i totally get but looking at them, i only up to full on my own experiences, four game sort eight games to actually get to this stage. And so, the amount of Work And Fight in spirit that they have to reach this level, you can never, ever underestimate that. Preparing for the eight Champions League games and lewis is at the park for us this evening and they came out of the pot of four seats in that long Champions League that we all had to sit through and it offers all had to sit through and it offers a fantastic chance for so take to get their campaign over. A fantastic chance for so take to get their campaign over. Write about these parts. Get their campaign over. Write about these parts. Its get their campaign over. Write about these parts, its a get their campaign over. Write about these parts, its a good get their campaign over. Write about these parts, its a good opportunity i these parts, its a good opportunity to do something that celtic have never done in the Group Stages of the Champions League, theyve never won an opening Group Stage Match And Thatis won an opening Group Stage match and that is something that they will want to put right and if you heard Brendan Rogers in the Press Conference and a lot of Positivity And Confidence coming through as well and saying that he hasnt felt in such a good place leaving aside into the Champions League and they are in good form and in their opening matches domestically have not conceded a goal in the last five League Matches and celtic are in a really good place and Brendan Rogers is as well. There will definitely see this as an opportunity to do something they have not done before. But he knows he has a terrible record in Group Stages winning just two out of 18 but that club behind you, that fantastic European Pedigree. The first british european Champions League but i wonder, because its been such a long time, what would it mean for them to get back into the Knockout Stages .

They had to go through a pretty arduous Qualifying Campaign to get here in four rounds of qualifying matches and they will come here with plenty of Grit And Determination and celtic with that stadium a full house behind me this evening and they will be hoping that they are determined to pick up three points on opening night.

More September Sunshine again today with temperatures across the board above the seasonal average and some the highest of those again on the Northern Areas of scotland. Even towards the North Sea facing coast, despite the cloudy start backing sunshine developed although here towards eastern coasts, those would be cooler and cloudy as he had to the next few days but more sunshine around for us with some showers developing later on in the south during the week and more on that and just a moment. The Pressure Chart and high pressure still be gradually dressed for the northwards and eastwards and eastwards and still a brisk easterly wind blowing across the southern half of the uk and drawing in more moisture in the North Sea and there will be a lot more low cloud drifting further westwards in towards the north and the west, the uk we will see largely clear skies but missed in fog starting to develop into Tomorrow Morning and here temperatures in the mid single figures but fairly mild and keep the lake cloudy in the uk in particular in a monster to the dead 14 degrees. Murky in quite grey wherever you are Tomorrow Morning but the mist in the fog will clear regularly and no burn back again towards the North Sea facing coast as we head towards the day but it can linger on perhaps across parts of aberdeen sure where it will be feeling cooler and some the best of the sunshine out towards the west and the highest of the temperatures in the far south in the east and across northwest scotland. Whatjeff for the two showers on thursday in the southern half of england, though showers will become more widespread on friday and some of them could be heavier and thundery and shifting westwards throughout the day from East Anglia and perhaps through into wales and far southwest of england. Temperatures a little lower on friday and again, some of the best of the sunshine could be around Western Scotland and the edges of the seacoast. And then we get towards the south into the weekend in this area of low pressure drifting from iberia and thats going to have some heavy Thunder Downpours across much of the southern half of the uk and england and wellesley could turn quite wet on saturday and though showers could potentially continue into sunday and further north, it may not be completely dry and certainly drier with some sunshine in it has been cooler than it has been in recent days.
