Their manager was the legendary Austrian Ernst Happel, who was clouded in bitterness after the 1-0 defeat in London, claiming the side with Scots Dalglish, Souness and Alan Hansen was not a patch on the one that had beaten them two seasons before.Before breaking Brugge hearts, Dalglish had broken those of Celtic supporters, having been Bob Paisley's chosen one to replace Kevin Keegan, who had moved to German giants Hamburg.
Conference League semi-finalists last season, they come to Glasgow knowing, like Celtic, they are tantalisingly close to extending their campaign into the spring but mindful they finish the league phase with three very tough fixtures.

He is a man that is as revered in West Flanders as Dalglish is in east Glasgow.
Hayen himself replaced former Celtic manager Ronny Deila at the club having previously been in charge of the much-vaunted youth team, Club NXT, where he worked with Celtic midfielder Arne Engels.
