VfB Stuttgart wants to set the course for reaching the Euro League round of 16 today at Celtic Glasgow. Aside from the fact that a European away match at Celtic is a highlight for pretty much every football fan, the game is historic for another reason. 

Celtic coach Martin O'Neill will be sitting on the bench for the 1,000th time today. The Northern Irishman has previously managed teams such as Nottingham, Leicester, Aston Villa, and the Irish national team.

As if that weren’t enough to make it a top match, both teams immediately started scoring goals. After Bilal El Khannouss made it 1-0 in the 15th minute, the Scots equalized 1-1 following a mistake in the build-up play by Karazor. 

However, that didn’t last long. In the 28th minute, El Khannouss scored his second with a header.

Shortly before the 60th minute, Stuttgart added another. Leweling scored from distance to make it 3-1. Only about a minute later, Demirovic increased the lead to 4-1—but the goal was disallowed by VAR for offside. 

Now it’s your turn: Will VfB win in Glasgow or can the Scots decide the match for themselves? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
