17:38 GMT - Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill has spoken to TNT Sports ahead of what could be his final match in charge, with Wilfried Nancy set to be their next permanent manager. 

"The performance (tonight) is almost secondary to the result, but we'd like to play well obviously. Tonight is about trying to get on the front foot and just go and attack.

"I would like to stay in the competition if we can."

17:35 GMT - We have 10 minutes to go until the first matches of the night get underway. Stay with us for all the updates!

17:02 GMT - It's been a season of relative calm for Feyenoord after a rocky start to the year. 

The club is currently managed by former Arsenal and Man Utd striker Robin van Persie, who replaced interim manager Pascal Bosschaart in February. Bosschaart took over from Brian Priske, who was appointed Arne Slot's replacement last summer, but only managed a few months in the role before he was sacked.
