International break As the Rennes squad showed important signs of fatigue over the last few weeks, many players have gone to join their national teams. The concerns around their playing time will be a major question in the week to come.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais 1 - 1 Valenciennes. The story-line was so predictable: after scoring first through Kembo, Rennes had to concede the equaliser. Uninspired, looking tired, Antonetti’s men could hardly hope for anything better than a draw.

Ligue 1, Stade Rennais - Valenciennes, Sunday, 17:00 CET. Following two consecutive defeats and elimination in the Coupe de la Ligue, Rennes is expected to react, this Sunday against Valenciennes. A game in which Antonetti will be able to rely on Kembo and Kana-Biyik, both returning after their injuries.

Europa League, Celtic Glasgow 3 - 1 Stade rennais. In an absolutely crucial game, Stade Rennes failed to show up at the required level and was logically beaten by Celtic Glasgow. A defeat which his certainly ringing the end of Rennes’ European adventure, and which exposed big insufficiencies in the proposed content.

This Thursday, Stade Rennes will discover Celtic Park, a real monument of Football history. Fourty years ago, the Rouge et Noir had already travelled to Scotland, then challenging the Rangers at Ibrox Park. A look back at one of the first European ties in the history of Stade Rennes.

Europa League, Celtic Glasgow - Stade Rennais, Thursday 21:05. As in Tbilissi, Belgrade or Udine, Frédéric Antonetti has decided to call an enlarged squad to face Celtic. A squad including Danzé, Kana-Biyik, Kembo and the big surprise… Onyekachi Apam.

Ligue 1, Toulouse 1 - 0 Stade Rennais. Trailing after Didot opened the score on a free-kick in the first half, Rennes – playing 35 minutes with eleven men against ten – was unable to close the gap. Clumsy and lacking determination, the Rennais have also lost Kana-Biyik, who had to leave the field with an adductors injury.

Ligue 1, Toulouse - Stade rennais, Sunday, 17:00 CET. For their league meeting at the Stadium, on Sunday afternoon, the Rennais and the Toulousains have to deal with numerous important absences. Enough to force both managers to seriously reshuffle their squads.

After the elimination of Rennes in Le Mans, Frédéric Antonetti has “turned the page”. His objective is to do well in the next three weeks before a two weeks rest. Including a difficult trip to Toulouse this Sunday.

Coupe de la Ligue, Le Mans 0 - 0 Stade rennais (4-1 pen.) Seasons come and go, and the story remains the same at the Stade Rennais. Inefficient, uninspired, and denied by an excellent Didier Ovono on their rare clear chances, the Bretons leave the Coupe de la Ligue once again by the backdoor, at the term of their first game in the competition.
