The Sweden stalwart knows the importance of taking full points against Hearts on Thursday night
But the Copenhagen ace knows anything other than victory against Hearts on Thursday night could see his dream shattered before Christmas. The Danes are on five points - one behind the Jambos in the league phase - with seven understood to be the magic number to secure a play-off spot for the last 16. Their campaign got off to a stuttering start with defeat against Jagiellonia Białystok before draws with Real Betis then Istanbul left them playing catch-up.
“I played Kilmarnock this season, obviously. Scottish sides always play with a big heart and they are dedicated fans. “They play a little bit more direct, I think, than other countries. I also played Rangers in a friendly in January. And back in the days I played Celtic. So I think Kilmarnock was a little bit more direct than Celtic and Rangers, but hard to expect them to be a little bit in between. And it's going to be a tough game and I am sure they will have good fans with them as well.
