The Celtic fans in the Transfer Tavern really can’t wait for a return to Champions League action tomorrow tonight.
Indeed, the Bhoys in the bar believe a European adventure is all that Brendan Rodgers needs to deliver in order to make his reign in charge of the club even better. So, even the prospect of facing a Neymar/Mbappe-led PSG hasn’t scared them.
And why should it?
The Scottish champions tend to do well when at home against European giants and the atmosphere created at Parkhead during such nights is a sight to behold.
So, comments from Celtic legend Neil Lennon made to The42 in a build-up to tomorrow’s game have been well received by our drinkers clad in green and white.
Now in charge of SPFL rivals Hibernian, the 46-year-old praised Celtic Park and suggested his former club could find joy in their games against Anderlecht, which could help them in a group that also contains Bayern Munich.
“It’s going to be very difficult, but Celtic Park can do funny things to teams at times. Celtic’s record at Celtic Park is phenomenal in the Champions League”, he said.
”I think they’ll do well against Anderlecht over the two games, so if they can pick up something (against the others), it’s not insurmountable.”
Landlord’s Verdict:
If Celtic can get off to a good start tomorrow night, there’s every chance they can make this Champions League campaign the best yet.
Bayern Munich have never truly convinced under Carlo Ancelotti and, while PSG are packed full of talent, even the mighty Barcelona of a few years ago fell in Glasgow.
Thoughts?
