The Turkish side awaits Swedish Molde in the return leg of the playoffs after a 3-2 away win in the first game

After the original and spectacular transfer announcement that saw Hakim Ziyech side by side with Galatasaray ultras in the stands, the Moroccan star is ready to make his Galata debut.

And what a stage in the prospect that will be - the Turkish giants are on the verge of the Champions League and only need a draw on Tuesday night against the Swedish champion Molde to clinch the spot in the UCL group stage.

Galatasaray celebrated a vital 3-2 away win in the first leg and should have no problems in front of their passionate fans to make that one last step.

Along with Ziyech, who joins them on loan from Chelsea, the Turks count on quite a few more exquisite players, such as Dries Mertens, Wilfried Zaha and Mauro Icardi.

In the other two fixtures of Tuesday's UCL menu, Panathinaikos face Braga, while Young Boys meet Maccabi Haifa.
