The fighting talk has started ahead of their Euro showdown with the Belgians' coach unhappy about the pitch
Critical Cercle Brugge boss Miron Muslic has hammered Kilmarnock’s Rugby Park pitch. But the Belgians’ coach says his team will cope and relish a physical battle with Derek McInnes’ fired-up troops.
“I cannot put too much energy into this. Of course it’s new and challenging, We can control a strong performance and this is our plan. We have one team in our competition, St Truiden, who play on an artificial pitch, so we face them once a year. The last two games since we won 1-0 and 2-0 so, hopefully, this is a good omen. We have a clear goal, a target and we want to perform in the best-possible way knowing Kilmarnock is a strong team with a strong home record.
“We respect Kilmarnock a lot. This is a team that will give their all, this is a team that will try to make it a real fight. I heard the stadium is sold out. I was already outside and had a look and it has a little bit of football romance. It was really nice. Even if it’s an old stadium, it has an aura and some nice charisma.
Muslic added on McInnes: “He’s doing a very, very fine job reaching fourth position, similar to us. It is not easy, especially in a competition when you have Celtic and Rangers, always two dominant teams.
