And with that, I’m off. Bye! Here’s a bit of Martin O’Neill’s post-match interview, by way of parting gift.

double quotation mark We started quite well, just trying to get into the game, but they got a goal and it’s the last thing you want to do. Then at 2-0 we had a great, great chance to make it 2-1 and within a few minutes they make it 3-0. And we could have capitulated. But the second-half performance was really terrific. We created chance after chance, we should have scored more goals. But the second-half performance gives me the determination … and I think we can still qualify. I know it’s down to six games but we want to qualify, and we can still do it.

8.32pm: “Evening Simon,” writes Simon McMahon. “Celtic are always capable of scoring, but I worry about them defensively. Well, I say worry, but I love it really, as do most fans of other Scottish clubs, who for years have seen the self styled ‘Bhoys’ buy their best players for a pittance, win everything domestically, and then blame ‘lack of competition’ for their European failure. The fact that they are still harking back to 1967, undoubtedly a significant achievement at the time, but also nearly 60 years ago, only confirms how far they have fallen.” You can’t really blame Celtic for the fact they find it a bit hard to win major European trophies these days, though, the whole world of football has shifted against them.

More team news, this time from Bournemouth. If the name of the referee rings a bell, it may be because he was the VAR who angered the whole of Egypt at this summer’s World Cup and prompted Marca to run through his “long history of controversies” (actually not long):

Bournemouth: Petrovic, Smith, Silva, Diakite, Soler, Tavernier, Cook, Adams, Doak, Rodriguez, Evanilson. Subs: Di Gregorio, Allan, Truffert, Hill, Brooks, Christie, Kluivert, Adli, Toth, Rayan.
Sturm Graz: Khudyakov, Malic, Quarshie, Petrovic, Balbo, Heil, Stankovic, Matoshi, Hodl, Seidl, Beganovic. Subs: Helac, Lorenz, Vallci, Kayombo, Diakite, Mate Grgic, Koller, Peinhart, Weinhandl, Halwachs, Petritsch.
Referee: Jerome Brisard (France).

Team news is starting to land and I’m going to pour it all in here, starting with Benfica v Celtic and news that not only is Camilo Durán but Jhon Durán starts for Benfica, making this very much a Durán v Durán affair, and if that isn’t an excuse for enjoying some fine 80s music I don’t know what is.

Benfica: Trubin, Bah, Araujo, Lenglet, Dahl, Aursnes, Joao Palhinha, Lukebakio, Sudakov, Prestianni, Duran. Subs: Soares, Circati, Pavlidis, Manu, Barreiro, Schjelderup, Rafa Silva, Echeverri, Indio, El Karouani, Anisio Cabral, Freitas.
Celtic: Sinisalo, Donovan, Murray, Trusty, Tierney, McGregor, Baur, Duran, Sorensen, Tounekti, Hogh. Subs: Johnstone, Lotomba, Scales, Nygren, McCowan, Osmand, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Hassan, Forrest, Ralston, Clearie, Kennedy.
Referee: Nikola Dabanovic (Montenegro).

Hello world! We have 10 late Europa League games to get our teeth into tonight, plus eight in the Conference League and a token effort from Mansfield and Oxford in League One, any of which we might get distracted by if they look exciting enough. Bournemouth’s Marco Rose is hoping his team recover from the “real slap” they suffered at the hands of Chelsea at the weekend against Sturm Graz, while Celtic’s fans wait to find out if Camilo Duran’s child has been born in time for the Colombian to make it to Lisbon to play Benfica. Elsewhere, two classic names of European club football face each other as Anderlecht, former Uefa Cup and Cup Winners’ Cup winners, head to Dinamo Zagreb, former Fairs Cup winners and Cup Winners’ Cup semi-finalists, for what surprisingly is only a fifth meeting, while Celta Vigo and Juventus play for the third time, with both previous encounters having ended in home wins.
