‘WE’VE HIGH HOOPS FOR EUROFIGHT’

SCOTTISH ROUND-UP

CRAIG GORDON insists Celtic can surprise a few people in the Champions League this season.

The Hoops begin their group campaign against Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow and the keeper (above) is quietly confident.

He said: “We’ve been together longer and we’ve worked at the style of play and the formations the manager wants us to play.

“From that point of view, tactically, we’re better than we were at the start of the last campaign.

“The Champions League, and going to places like Paris and Munich, is something we can look forward to. It’s what you work so hard for – to test yourself on that stage.

“It’s another really difficult group, so we’re going to have to play really well to try to come out of it. Last season we did well at times in a few games, but we need to step that up again this year.”

Celtic are top of the Scottish Premier League after a 4-1 win at Hamilton on Friday, and Gordon added: “We go into these games with a chance to play in a slightly different way and it’s something that could suit us.”

Celtic’s arch rivals Rangers won 4-1 against Dundee on Saturday and are three points behind.
