Alistair Johnston and his Hoops teammates are gearing up for another tilt at Europe's elite in the Champions League.
Alistair Johnston insists Celtic are to ready to make a Champions League racket and not become the accidental tourists of campaigns past.
“Wins over Manchester City and Chelsea during pre-season saw that we can compete in the friendly games. I think that’s opened the eyes of some people. If we can keep that form going and continue to build on that, we really can make some noise in Europe.” “It’s not about making up the numbers, it’s about showing our fans that we do belong on that stage. So often, I felt last year we were in games but then at the last moment, we let something slip away or just didn’t capitalise. Again, we want to make the next step and be the team that punishes opponents. This extended format will make it different. It’s going to be a bit of a feeling out process for everyone with the extra games.
