Boost for Celtic fans as BT Sport to show AEK Athens tie

BT Sport has confirmed it will screen live coverage of Celtic's Champions League third qualifying round second leg tie with AEK Athens in Greece.

Darrell Currie will be joined by former Parkhead duo John Hartson and Stiliyan Petrov. Chris Sutton and Rory Hamilton are on commentary duties while Eilidh Barbour will provide additional content and reporting.

Celtic go into the match in the Greek capital knowing a win will send them through to a Champions League play-off clash against either Swedish side Malmo or Videoton of Hungary.
