Celtic trained in Reykjavik on Monday evening ahead of tonight's Champions League second-round qualifier against KR in the Icelandic capital.

Skipper Scott Brown and winger James Forrest miss out due to injury as Ronny Deila takes charge of his first competitive game as Parkhead boss.

The return leg is at Murrayfield on Tuesday July 22 and Celtic No 2 John Collins is looking forward to the game.

He said: "That's three weeks that we have been back now - this is the big one. All the preparations have gone towards getting a good performance and good result.

"We want to go there and try to score goals. We have watched them twice so we know their strengths and weaknesses but at the end of the day it is about how we play.

"This is where Celtic want to be, we want to be on the big stage. We know we have to take care of this team, it won't be easy. It never is at the start of the season but we are looking forward to it."

Tonight's game is live on BBC Scotland, kick-off 8pm BST.
