The Arctic Circle giant-killers out to upset Postecoglou again
The term "Arctic Circle giant-killers" refers to Norwegian football club Bodø/Glimt, who gained prominence in European competitions by defeating higher-profile teams. One notable instance was during the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League when they eliminated Celtic, managed by Ange Postecoglou at the time. In the first leg at Celtic Park, Bodø/Glimt secured a 3-1 victory, capitalizing on Celtic's lack of clinical finishing and composure. The second leg in Norway saw Bodø/Glimt win 20 completing a 5-1 aggregate triumphThis defeat was a significant setback for Postecoglou early in his European managerial career. Despite making six changes to the lineup for the second leg, Celtic couldn't overturn the deficit. The challenging conditions in Bodø, located within the Arctic Circle, added to the difficulty, with temperatures dropping below minus 20 degrees Celsius and strong winds affecting play.
