Lustig confident Celtic can break duck on the road in Europa League

I am going to move back to Sweden one day. We will see when that happens.

“There is more history to be made here at Celtic but I am 32 in a couple of weeks.

“Of course I always want to play for Celtic, but I know my ability and if they don’t want me then I am sure I will find a place where I am going to be happy. My body feels really good. I have played a lot of games with my club and done amazing things with the Swedish national team as well.

“As long as I am able to play that many games and the body still feels fine then, touch wood, I have a few years left at the top level yet.”

Lustig’s immediate focus is on helping Celtic stay in contention for a place in the last 32 of the Europa League when they travel to face his old club Rosenborg in Trondheim on Thursday. Celtic opened a two-point lead at the top of the Premiership with a 3-0 win at Hamilton Accies on Saturday and Lustig, pictured, feels they are capable of a first away victory in the group which has previously seen them lose in both Salzburg and Leipzig.

“We feel confident at the moment,” he added. “We struggled with injuries in defence for these Europa League games earlier in the season but, in the last month or so, we have proved we have a lot of quality and depth in the squad. We have kept clean sheets in our last two trips to Trondheim to play Rosenborg over the last couple of seasons so, hopefully, we can make it three. The guys who have come in to the team have done well and now guys are coming back from injury as well and it’s up to the gaffer to choose.

“Everyone will want to play but the main thing is that we are working hard together. When we do that, we know we can get a positive result.”
