Celtic defender will play in Valencia, again.
Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer is set to return to the Mestalla, this time with Norway.
Ajer was part of a three man defence against Valencia which lost 1-0 in the Europa League, sealing a 3-0 aggregate defeat.
After a bigger home loss, a one goal defeat with playing much of the game with 10 men felt like an uplifting performance for the club.
Days later manager Brendan Rodgers quit the club. It would prove his final defeat as Celtic boss.
Despite mixed memories of the Mestalla, Ajer is excited to be heading back there.
Norway face Spain at the stadium in Valencia in a Euro 2020 qualifier on Saturday night.
Ajer’s Norway are heavy underdogs and it would be a surprise if his side emerged from the Mestalla with anything but a defeat.
Ajer is not daunted and is looking forward to it.
He told the club website: “Spain have exceptional players all over the pitch. We aren’t concentrating on them though; we just think about ourselves.
“We’ll be playing them at the Mestalla so I’ll be back in familiar surroundings. It’s a fantastic stadium and a beautiful pitch to play on.”
