Celtic betting hunch sees punters pile in on Europa Conference League glory run

Confident punters are backing Celtic at the bookies to lift their first major European trophy in 55 years this season.

Ange Postecoglou 's side face a two-legged playoff against Bodo/Glimt to reach the last 16 of the the newly created Europa Conference League.

A host of big names are in the hat, including Roma, Leicester City and Marseille but oddsmakers are seeing a wave of money being placed on the Premiership leaders.

Postecoglou's side account for 22 per cent of all bets placed, according to Oddschecker, in the outright market and that faith has led to them becoming the outright seventh favourite at 20/1 to lift the trophy in May.

Celtic face a challenge against the Norwegians but their form since October home and abroad has resulted in a wave of bets being placed on them.

The Parkhead side know the importance of winning the league this season with a £40m golden ticket on offer as a place in the Champions League looms.

But much of the club's rich history is based upon glory nights under the lights and there appears a genuine chance to go into the latter stages.
