Edouard: No merci for PSG in Euro clash

here at Celtic Park is big. Ever since I was a kid I have always dreamed of playing in the Champions League and on top of that playing against my parent club is going to be very special.

“I want to score in every game I play, so for this game if I can score I’ll score. It’s what I want to do whenever I play football.

“Normally there is nothing in the contract that says you can’t play. Last year exactly the same situation happened in the French league, when I was playing for Toulouse on loan and did play against PSG.”

Celtic will be massive underdogs against PSG who have spent £198m on Neymar and have an obligation to pay £165m for Kylian Mbappe next season with the player on loan from Monaco for the season.

The Parkhead side have history of orchestrating one or two giant killings in the Champions League, with the most recent win coming under Neil Lennon when Celtic beat Barcelona.

“In a football match, anything can happen on that day,” he said. “The key is to really prepare well with hard work. That is the way to approach things.”

Edouard’s loan spell at Toulouse ended in controversy when he received a four-month suspended sentence for an air rifle incident last February. It is an episode that the player believes he has learned from as he looks to move on from it.

“The season at Toulouse was one where I really learned a lot,” he said. “It was my first time outside living outside Paris and it was also my first time as a first-team professional.

“I know I’ve made some mistakes but it’s all behind me and I’m really concentrating now on the future, that is what’s important to me.

“I didn’t worry for my career but it really forced me to think hard about what’s important. You could probably describe it as something bad which led to something really good.”
