The former Parkhead winger knows what it's all about to pick up a signature win in his home country.
Former Celtic star Bobby Petta has urged Brendan Rodgers to play the long ball game against Feyenoord but it appears certain he will not get his wish.
And and now the man reborn under O'Neill is begging Celtic to box clever rather than getting sparked out in the De Kuip. Speaking to the Sunday Post, he said: "I'd prefer to see Feyenoord having to work really hard for any goals they may score rather than being given gifts. So, I'd be really focused on the defensive side of the game and tell the players to send the ball long up the park. Don't always play out from the back.
"One difference, maybe, to the tactics that will go in Celtic's favour this season is that Brendan does not demand the same high press as Ange. That can take its toll physically and maybe that's why Celtic conceded so many late goals in Europe last season. The players may have been exhausted. But, regardless of how good the players are on the night or what the manager does tactically, you need a big slice of luck at some stage in the game.
Rodgers said: "I always think it’s nice to try and have a way to win. People don’t pick up on the balls that get smashed up the pitch that come right back at you and it ends up in a goal. No-one ever talks about that.
