Celtic’s win at Feyenoord opens up the Europa League nicely this week.

The historic win in Rotterdam places Celtic in 21st place in the Europa League standings and well in charge to qualify with at least an unseeded play-off place.

Celtic boss Martin O’Neill was delighted with the win and how Celtic played Feyenoord off the park in the 3-1 hammering at De Kuip.

With just three games left, how does Celtic’s standing in the Europa League now compare to Rangers and the rest of the English Premier League teams competing in the competition?

Celtic not far behind Nottingham Forest as Rangers’ Europa League pain continues

Celtic are currently in 21st place in the standings which means Wilfried Nancy can secure an unseeded play-off place if he can avoid defeat in his last remaining matches.

Nottingham Forest are 16th, just one point ahead of Celtic after their 3-0 win over Malmo at the City Ground.

Aston Villa are in with a shout of winning the group as they sit joint-top with Lyon and FC Midtjylland on 12 points.

Rangers, on the other hand, are languishing in 33rd place after their embarrassing winless record continued last night with the 1-1 draw with SC Braga at Ibrox.

Martin O’Neill’s superb Celtic record in the Netherlands

Celtic’s win at Feyenoord was the club’s first-ever at the De Kuip and only their fourth away win in the country ever.

The last time Celtic recorded a victory in the Netherlands? You guessed it. Martin O’Neill’s side taught Dutch masters Ajax a serious footballing lesson in the Champions League qualifiers in 2001.

Goals from Bobby Petta, Didier Agathe and Chris Sutton saw off the likes of Raphael van der Vaart, Shota Arveladze and Mido to qualify for the Champions League proper for the first time in Celtic’s history.
