Plenty of teams have been in that movie at Celtic Park when you think¬†you're just going to see it out until¬†half-time?¬† "Yeah, absolutely.

Jack Iredale is dreaming of Europe (Image: SNS Group) For a long time, the prospect of playing in Europe simply wasn't on Jack Iredale's radar. From Greenock Morton in Scotland's second tier, to Bolton Wanderers in the EFL, trips to the continent just weren't a realistic proposition. Even across those first few months at Hibs, as the team sunk to the bottom of the Scottish Premiership and he sat glued to the bench, it must have felt a million miles away.
