Two former Celtic and Rangers stars locked horns in the Europa League tonight in much anticipated clash.
Ajax welcomed Bundesliga side Union Berlin to the Johan Cruyff Arena in the Europa League tonight, and it had every reason to be a barnstorming affair but it was anything but. For fans around the world they were looking forward to two high intensity teams going head-to-head, while Celtic and Rangers supporters got the chance to see Josip Juranovic and Calvin Bassey face off against one another.
Both players have struggled to pin down consistent starts since joining their respective clubs, but both got the chance to shine in this one. The Croatian full-back who signed in the January window from Celtic has been in and out the team but started in Amsterdam in place of captain Christopher Trimmel who was serving a one-match ban. While, Ajax head coach John Heitinga explained why Bassey had earned a start against Union.
