Celtic head out to Denmark today (Monday) ahead of the second leg of their UEFA Champions league second qualifying round tie against FC Midtjylland.

That game on Wednesday night is finely balanced after a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park. The Hoops took the lead through Liel Abada, who netted on his competitive debut, before the Danish side grabbed an equaliser in the second-half.

The away goals rule has been scrapped for this season’s European competitions, so it lessens the impact of that goal conceded last week.

It’s also a tie that could well go to extra-time and penalties, though the Hoops will be aiming to complete the job inside the regulation 90 minutes.

And looking ahead to the game, David Turnbull believes that if the team can be more decisive in front of goal, they will take their place in the next round of the competition.

Speaking after the weekend loss to West Ham United in a pre-season friendly at Celtic Park, Turnbull said: “I don’t think that defeat will affect our confidence too much ahead of Wednesday night.

“We got a good result in the first game here and we’re looking to build on that now. We’re looking to show the kind of form we showed in midweek in the return game.

'We’re confident of going through. We feel we should have won the first game against them. We just need to create again, take our chances and be a bit more clinical.'

And Turnbull also said that despite the relative youthfulness of the Celtic backline, there is confidence within the squad that they will pass the test posed by FC Midtjylland.

“When you’re younger it’s about doing as well as you can and proving everybody wrong,” he said. “It’s about having no fear and just playing with freedom.

“We have faith in those boys 100 per cent. Stephen Welsh played most of last season and did really well every time he came in.

“And big Dane Murray came in last week and did very well also. I’m sure he’ll build on that performance now.

“Antonio up front for West Ham has been a success in the Premier League and would be tough for any defence to deal with. We know what we’re up against in Midtjylland – and thankfully it’s not that.”
