Listen: Will Celtic bounce back in Lisbon - and how will Hearts start?

Celtic face a pivotal moment in Lisbon as they prepare to take on Benfica in a Champions League clash that could shift the narrative surrounding the club. With fan frustration mounting and questions lingering over manager Martin O'Neill’s future, a positive result against one of Portugal’s top sides might provide a much-needed boost.

The tactical approach, the form of striker Kasper Høgh, and how Celtic navigate Benfica’s strength will be key to altering the mood at Parkhead. Meanwhile, Hearts kick off their Conference League campaign at Tynecastle against Danish side Nordsjælland, a team that could pose more of a challenge than initially expected.

Under Wouter Vrancken, Hearts have made impressive strides, and the atmosphere of a European night in Gorgie adds to the intrigue of what could be a competitive opening match.
