I know it sounds daft but the crowd is a big leveller at celtic park. They have a wee chance of getting third because of that.
Less than a year ago they were getting pumped by molde. Their board has 'upped the stakes' by getting in a manager with a track record. All the jibes about scottish fitba on football focus look a bit daft this morning cos city were totally amateur at the back,a team that plays like liverpool will cos them loads of bother.
Agree about the crowd at Celtic Park. Pat Nevin I think it was said yesterday that while a lot of teams visiting will have no problem coping with that atmosphere, its actually the lift it gives the Celtic team that probably has the most telling effect on the performances.
