Tounekti wants the Hoops to make a name for themselves in Europe but he taking inspiration from his former side's exploits. Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt stunned Celts on their way to the Conference League quarterfinals in 2022, with a6-1 home win over Roma in the group stage action.
‘They then stunned rivals with amarch to the Europa semifinals last season before crashing out to ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglous eventual winners Tottenham.
The Hoops kick off their campaign in the same tourney in Belgrade against Red Star tomorrow and are aiming to smash through the league phase to win a knockout tie for the first time in more than 20 years.
Tounekti - who spent two years at Bodo until 2022 - said: “The secret is to be ourselves, to not change. If we meet Roma, or someone else, we just have to be ourselves. We have to play our Europe’ There is no escaping the fact Celtic did not want to be in this competition.
The Champions League was the real goal and the pain at failing to get there is still raw.
