Stuttgart will be stand-out for Maloney

The Celtic No.2 netted ina 3-41 win over the Germans as the Hoops marched their way to the UEFA Cup Final. Martin O'Neill's men eventually claimed a dramatic 5-4 aggregate win after surviving a fightback in the second leg away from home.

Maloney relishes the prospect of renewing that European rivalry after Celts were paired with Stuttgart once again in the Europa League knockout playoff.
