Celtic captain Scott Brown believes home supporters can create the kind of atmosphere that spurs the team on to big results in the UEFA Europa League group stage, The Daily Record report.
Brown and the rest of his teammates are on a revenge mission against Cluj later this week.
The Romanians dumped us out of UEFA Champions League qualifying, but we have the chance to make amends.
Citing the unique atmosphere that Celtic Park can produce on big European nights, Brown is hoping there is a fear factor for the visiting outfit on Thursday night.
As quoted by The Daily Record, he said: “It is the fans, the fantastic support, that helps us out. You can ask a lot of players about it. They feel it as well.
“Especially on European nights or in Rangers-Celtic games, there is always that little bit of a fear factor at play.
“The crowd get right behind us with every single tackle, every forward pass, and every chance that we create.”
Bring the noise
The captain is clearly looking for a fiery atmosphere inside the ground this week so if you’re heading along to the game bring the noise, the passion and the colour.
Home results are going to be absolutely crucial to progression. If we can pick up another three points against the Romanians we’ll be well on our way to a Round of 32 berth.
On paper, this should be the most winnable tie of the entire group. As we know though, Dan Petrescu’s side can cause us problems.
We need to make it as uncomfortable for the visiting side as possible from the off and hope that Brown and company raise their game and give the big crowd exactly what they’re looking for.
