As we approach matchday five of the league phase, the Hoops are justifiably confident, having amassed seven points from their first four matches.
The subsequent match will present a distinct challenge in the guise of Belgian champions Brugge. Their first four league phase matches have yielded six points, thanks to victories over Sturm Graz and Aston Villa.
Borussia Dortmund was also unable to uncover them until the 76th minute, and Nicky Hayen’s team was also hampered by a sending-off at Milan.
They enter Wednesday with a subdued sense of confidence, following their 7-0 demolition of St. Truiden on Saturday. The officials for the match have been recently confirmed by UEFA.
The referee is Georgi Kabakov, a Bulgarian individual. In 2018, he served as the referee for Celtic’s 3-0 victory over FK Suduva in the second leg of a Europa League play-off at home.
Light, Callum McGregor, and Kristoffer Ajer scored that evening. Martin Margaritov and Diyan Valkov, his compatriots, serve as his assistants.
Christian Dingert, a German, works alongside Dragomir Dragano on VAR. Over the course of his tenure, referee Kabakov has presided over only seven Champions League matches.
Fans will be hoping that his minor lack of experience at the elite level does not have a detrimental effect on the proceedings on Wednesday.
