Animalistic- Celtic defender issues Brugge warning
Image for Animalistic- Celtic defender issues Brugge warning
Alistair Johnston believes that Celtic Park is animalistic on Champions League nights.
The stadium was in danger of losing its fear factor after a decade long wait for a home win in UEFA’s premier tournament.
Gus Lagerbielke’s late winner against Feyenoord brought that depressing stat to an end, on Wednesday night the hoops face Club Brugge looking for their fourth successive home win in the competition.

Johnston has been at Celtic for less than two years but with a newly signed contract he has embraced every aspect of the culture surrounding the club.
There is magic in the air on European nights but this season Slovan Bratislava and RB Leipzig have felt the bite on the park to match the passion from the imposing stands.
When you walk out there and you hear that anthem, the noise that the fans make is almost inhumane. It’s guttural and animalistic in a way – just the scream when the Champions League anthem happens.
You can see it with the other team, the reactions when they hear it for the first time. It really is a special atmosphere that’s created there. It’s something as a footballer that I grew up watching and seeing.
When Celtic were playing in the Champions League, you’d want to put it on because you want to see the atmosphere. Some of the best games I’ve ever seen were Celtic Park Champions League matches, just for the atmosphere. You can just see what it gives that power to the players, that extra level of sprinting and just everything that they give to the game.
After a very promising start to the new look Champions League a critical stage is approaching with Matchdays 5 and 6 coming up before Christmas.
A home win and 10 points from five matches would be an incredible achievement and almost certainly ensure a place in the Last 16 Play Offs with the prospect of a top eight place still on as clubs adapt to a brand new format for the competition.
