A Red Bulls institution becomes their matchup headache

Welcome back, Dax.

The Red Bulls say hello again to Dax McCarty as the beloved former captain brings a retooled Chicago Fire — together with German legend Bastian Schweinsteiger — into Red Bull Arena on Saturday night (7 pm; MSG).

McCarty returns to New York for the first time since his shocking trade to Chicago in the offseason, and Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch expects it to be an emotional night.

“It’ll be hard to see [McCarty] on the other side of the field,” said Marsch, whose team is coming off an impressive 2-0 win against Columbus.
