With Martin O'Neill at the helm, Celtic headed to Spain to play Celta Vigo in the third round of the 2002/03 Uefa Cup.

They set off with a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, courtesy of Henrik Larsson.

Celta Vigo were difficult opponents and won the match 2-1, but John Hartson's strike meant Celtic advanced on away goals to a fourth round tie against Stuttgart.
