CELTIC v COPENHAGEN

CELTIC fans are licking their lips at the prospect of a quadruple Treble but Paul Hartley insists they should also be dreaming of Europa League glory.

The Parkhead men are 12 points clear in the Premiership and have already claimed the League Cup, with a Scottish Cup quarter-final spot booked.

But it’s on the continent where their biggest dream lies, on the road to the final in Gdansk.

Celtic take on Copenhagen at Parkhead tomorrow night in the second leg of their last-32 clash, having returned from Denmark last week with a 1-1 draw.

Hartley said: “Having watched them since the turn of the year, they have a great chance.

“They’re in good form and have that vital away goal after a good performance last week, particularly in the first half. I like the way they’re playing.

“Changing their system to a 3-5-2 seems to have suited them so, especially with that crowd behind them, I’d expect them to win.

“Losing their captain – if Scott Brown does miss out – would be a big blow but they have enough quality in their squad to bring someone else in without losing too much.”

Hartley also raved about the form of Callum McGregor, claiming the midfielder has become a pivotal player.

He said: “The way Callum is
