Celtic connection used by Union Saint Gilloise as former Hoops and Rangers men utilised by Belgians

Union Saint-Gilloise have called upon some Glasgow advice from former Celtic and Rangers players ahead of their huge night this evening.

The Belgian club have enjoyed a near dream year and a bit, winning the second tier and coming within an inch of First Division glory. They now stand between Rangers and a place in the Champions League play-offs this month, with the first leg held in Leuven tonight.

Boss Karel Geraerts knows the type of football Scotland gets branded with but intel tells him it won't be a night for sore necks. He told Nieuwsblad: “They gave me some information.
