Meanwhile, Belgium’s Erik Lambrechts has been appointed as the on-field referee for the knockout tie.
He will be joined by fellow countrymen Mathias Hillaert and Kevin Monteny as his assistants on their respective touchlines, while Jasper Vergoote, also of Belgium, will act as fourth official.
Away from the action at Celtic Park, Lambrechts will be helped by Bram Van Driessche on VAR duties, while the Netherlands’ Pol van Boekel will provide assistance to the latter with regard to the technology.
