‘Celtic will be the most interesting’ – USG captain relishing Europa League clash

Union Saint-Gilloise captain Kevin Mac Allister is looking forward to the Europa League clash with Celtic, describing it as the most interesting fixture from the draw. His team will face Celtic during the league phase after being paired with the Belgian champions, who have connections to Brighton and Hearts via Tony Bloom. Mac Allister, the nephew of Liverpool and Argentina midfielder Alexis, expressed his enthusiasm for the match, stating that Celtic at home would be the most exciting game.

He also mentioned his appreciation for Scottish teams such as Rangers and Celtic. Union manager David Hubert shared his excitement for the draw, particularly the presence of three champions in the group: Celtic, Hapoel Beer-Sheva, and Lech Poznan. Despite not drawing an English Premier League club, Hubert still considers Celtic a formidable opponent.

He emphasized the need for his team to perform well to secure points and highlighted the possibility of being the surprise package once again in the competition.
