Red Star, established in the year of our Lord 1945, strut their stuff amidst the echoing roars of Stadion Rajko Mitić, nestled in the heart of Serbia. Home games provide an atmosphere that, while far from the Celtic Park, certainly echoes the passion of the great game.
The collective worth of the Red Star squad etches up to the rather impressive sum of roughly £70m, according to Transfermarkt, a site that provides an unnerving level of detail about footie finance.
From the outset of this season, Red Star have tossed their hat into the ring in a trifecta of gruelling competitions. They currently sit pretty atop the SuperLiga hierarchy, basking nicely in the first place position. Their feet are bloody but unbowed from battling to play-offs in the Champions League Qualifiers, not forgetting the elbow grease expended in the Europa League Knockout Play-offs. No idle hung about them, it seems.
