AJAX return to Celtic Park on
competitive duty for the first
time since 2001, and once again
the Dutch champions will provide
a tough test for the Hoops.
Frank de Boer's side have won their
previous three domestic league titles,
and they are now looking to make their
mark on the UEFA Champions League,
Ajax lost their opening group away to
Barcelona, while they gained a point on
matchday two, courtesy of a 1-1
draw in Amsterdam against
AC Milan, although they can consider
themselves unlucky not to have
taken all three points from the
game,
Both Celtic and Ajax have
a tradition of attacking
football, so we're all set for
an entertaining contest at
Paradise tonight.
