The Scots will be very motivated, because they did not expect the Romanians to remove them from the Champions League and will do everything possible to beat them in the Europa League. The “white-greens” had suspended the Ivorian tip Vakoun Issouf Bayo, who was eliminated in Rennes, but they also lost to the Croatian central defender Jozo Šimunović, who underwent knee surgery. “It will take another three or four months,” coach Neil Lennon told a news conference. Defensive midfielder Nir Bitton will also be missing, who is not recovered after a thigh injury. “White-throats” do not have injured or suspended players, and only the players who were not included in the UEFA squad, the most important being George Ţucudean, will be missing. “The Bhoys” started with a tie in Group E, 1-1 away with Stade Rennais, while the “rail” won at home, 2-1 with Lazio Roma.
