Deila told the club website: "Qarabag haven’t been here before so that is an advantage for us. We have to put on our best performance and show how good a team we can be.

“We are ready to face this challenge and we know it is going to be tough, but we also know that we have the experience and the quality in the team to make it.”

The second leg goes ahead next Wednesday, August 5, with a place in the play-off round of the Champions League on offer.
